Bathroom Scenario

Album: Red Skies Over Paradise

Everywhere I go

I find birthpills in the bathroom

Part of the scenery

Have you had one today

No longer shocking

The inside of handbags

Used to be hidden

Now out on display

Professional women

who work for a living

Run through their washing

When they come home at night

Jars of cosmetics

Open and oozing

Petroleum jelly

Like turkish delight

Modern World how I hate it

Modern World you can take it

Modern World your magic's gone for me

Where's the mystery that there used to be?

No more escaping you're

Caught in the crossfire

See yourself naked

As you stand on the scales

No more illusions

So heartless and truthful

It tells you no lies
