I walk into the corner of my roomSee my friends in high placesI don't know which is which or who is whomThey've stolen each other's facesJanet is there with her high head and hairAnd full of bedroom feathersJanet is known to make dead men groanIn any kind of weatherI crawl over to herI say, ?Hey baby?, I say, ?Hey, JanetYou are the one, you are the sunAnd I'm your dutiful planetBut she ain't down with any of that'Cause she's heard that shit beforeAnd I say, ?Oh yeah, you're right?'Cause I see Betty X standing by the doorWith more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereAnd it's getting strange in hereYeah, it's getting stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhere, alright nowNow Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosomeHer hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come homeI say, ?Hey baby?, I say, ?Hey, Betty X?I lean close up to her throatThis light you are carrying is like a lamp hanging from a distant boatIt is my light, says Betty, Betty X says, This light ain't yoursAnd so much wind blew through her wordsThat I went rolling down the hallFor more news from nowhereMore news from nowhereAnd it's strange in hereYeah, it gets stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereI turn another cornerI go down a corridor and I see this guyHe must be about one hundred foot tallAnd he only has one eyeHe asks me for my autographI write nobody and thenI wrap myself up in my woolly coatAnd I blind him with my pen'Cause someone must have stuck something in my drinkEvery thing's getting strange lookingHalf the people have turned into squealing pigsThe other half are cookingWell, let me out of here I criedAnd I went pushing pastAnd I saw Miss Polly singing with some girlsI cried, struck me to the mastFor more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereIt's getting strange in hereAnd it gets stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereWell, then a black girl with no clothes onShe danced across the roomWe charted the progress of the planetsAround that boogie woogie moonI called her my Nubian princessGave her some sweet back fat ass jiveSpent the next seven years between her legsA pining for my wifeBut then by and by it all went wrongI fell washed up on a shoreShe stared down at me from up in the stormAnd I sopped up on the floorFor more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereAnd don't it make you feel aloneDon't it make you wanna get right on homeMore news from nowhereMore news from nowhere, let me hear it nowWell, here comes Elena with two black eyesShe's given herself a transfusionShe's filled herself with panda bloodTo avoid all the confusionI say, The sun rises and falls with youAnd various things about loveBut a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits offWell, Elena she starts screamingHer cheeks are full of psychotropic leavesHer extinction was nearly absoluteWhen she turned her back on meFor more news from nowhereI said, more news from nowhereAnd it's getting strange in hereYeah, it gets stranger every yearMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhere, alright, alrightI bump and crash into DeannaHanging pretty in the door frameAll the horrors that have befallen meWell, Deanna is to blameEvery time I see you babyYou make me feel so unaloneAnd I wipe my face into her dressLong after she'd gone homeWith more news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhereAnd don't it make you feel aloneYeah, and don't it make you wanna get right back homeMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhere, alrightAnd don't it make you feel so sadDon't the blood rush to your feetTo think that everything you do todayTomorrow is obsoleteTechnology and womenAnd little children, tooDon't it make you feel blueDon't it make you feel blueFor more news from nowhereWith more news from nowhereDon't it make you feel aloneYeah, and don't it make you wanna get right back homeMore news from nowhereYeah, more news from nowhere, one last timeWell, I gotta sayYeah, I gotta sayGoodbye, goodbye, goodbye
