Runaround on the Underground Erasure

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
I'm waiting at the bus stop for a double-decker ride
Supermarket checkout boy finds his way inside
A shady looking character, his beady eyes on me
I slip into a window seat, and then pretend to read

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world
(The hardest thing is holding on)
(Holding on and take the strain)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
They're coming at me at angles that I never knew existed
And they ain't gonna get me
I'm building up my colours of resistance
It's a runaround on the underground

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
A cybernetic shopper with a slight sadistic grin
Pulls a zipper on her sleeping bag; shuts herself within
A triple quilted chrysalis waiting for the sales
A bargain basement butterfly going off the rails

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
It's a wild, it's a wild, wild, wild world
(The hardest thing is holding on)
(Holding on and take the strain)
