We're all getting along like a house on fire
Taking bets on the time when the roof will fall
There are those in the room who must stay behind
While the animals escape through the cracks in the wall
When the lights go down in the rainbow room
And you find your feet in the darkness
As you lie alone what will you do?
In the rainbow room feeling black and blue
With your value printed on the clothes you wear
And your self-respect
And your nose in the air
Watch a million faces going down the tube
Beaten up like you
Beaten black and blue
Easy now
Don't fret yourself
'Nothing more wrong here than we might expect
You've been spoon-fed this since your infancy
Every sound you've heard
Every picture you've seen
When you run for your life down the corridor
With a thousand keys to the outside
Tubes of mirrors and light chasing after you
Will dissolve your sight in the rainbow room
Cover all the stains with emulsion paint
'Till it's sickly sweet
'Till it's p****ly clean...
