Pop Star Lyrics - Anthem - Toyah

(Words Willcox/Music Lee,Glockler) 

walk 

talk 

bend and break 

Stumble 

Crumble 

The world 

car 

Lost city of fire 

Pyramids shake 

Apartment blocks 

Awake 

am alone 

On this lost city of Mars 

have grown alone 

Among glass and stolen cars 

The pylons hum 

Geckos run 

Conveyor belts hum 

Stars tumble 

To the foot 

Of the temple 

am alone 

On this lost city of Mars 

have grown alone 

Among glass and stolen cars 

The doors 

The ice 

million 

Glass eyes 

On a trillion 

Wheeling cogs 

The dust 

The rust 

million mouths sigh 

In the lost city of the Gods 

The strangers applaud 

The sect of lost horizons 

And distant shores 

Applause 

Childhood delusions of grandeur and fame 

You open door 

In I came 

am the child 

You need to feed 

receive your intentions 

With instinctive greed 

I'm the pet of the multitudes 

I'm the pet of your metal and tubes 

fluid and goo 

Corridors and pavements 

Conveyor belts 

And streams 

Cosmetic operations 

For all buildings in need 

Pods and peas, metal fatigue 

Pedestrians with soda syphons 

Clockwork mice and twelve foot pythons
