It's a beautiful house and I love the garden But I just can't stay 'til my arteries harden Out in the street the people are stranded It didn't turn out the way they planned it Another step closer to St. Peter They measure each step in millimetres They say I ought to go now But I think I'll take a raincheck When the orange is fully wound I still have time to go to ground To go get lost before I get found I still have time I watched television 'til I got the message That we're quickstepping headlong into the dark age Can't get a career can't go to college Another step closer to St. Peter They measure each step in millimetres They say I ought to go now But I think I'll take a raincheck When the orange is fully wound I still have time to go to ground To go get lost before I get found I still have time They say I ought to go now But I think I'll take a raincheck When the orange is fully wound I still have time to go to ground To go get lost before I get found I still have time
