Catastrofuk Lyrics by John Cale

Extra Playful [Black Edition]

2011

[Intro]
Do, do do do do, do do do do, do
Do, do do do do, do do do do, do

[Verse 1]
It's catastrophic
How money goes
Misanthropic
And it shows
Gonna help you out
And pick you up
Stand you up
And jump and shout
You can't take it with you when you go
For the time being you got nothing to show

Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh
Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh

[Verse 2]
You're pointing at me
With your magic wand
You pin me down
Like you did James Bond
Well you don't
Live here no more
You've gone away

[Chorus]
Say hello to the future
And goodbye to the past
Hurry up through the present
And get there fast

Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh
Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh

[Bridge]
You got nothing to say
And i got nothing to prove
The river runs from the mountain down
To the sea and the shore
The samurai comes off the mountain
You can hear him roar
She doesn't feel the same way
That she did once before
But you've found something better next door

[Chorus]
Say hello to the future
And goodbye to the past
Hurry up through the present
And get there fast

Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh
Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh

Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh
Uh uh oh, uh oh, uh oh uh oh

[Outro]
She doesn't, she doesn't
Live here any more
She doesn't
She doesn't, she doesn't
Live here any more
She doesn't

Do, do do do do, do do do do, do
Do, do do do do, do do do do, do
