Hysteria by The Jazz Butcher Lyrics

I wake up, don't know where I am
The clock says `San Francisco', I say "Hell"!
We're getting up, we're holding up
We're selling out, they say we're doing well
We slept right though an earthquake -
Guess the distances are addling my brain
And all that anyone wants to know
Is when we'll be through here again

It's almost like dreaming..
It's all right for awhile...

We're rolling through prairies
So useless and thin
Can I get my lunch here?
What state are we in?
Hysteria
Let's just call it Hysteria

It's living in a funfair
And it's handsome, but it wouldn't do for me
The food is wrong, the language twisted
Green's the only colour that you see
We drove the bus through Heaven
There were people in their best suits in the bar
We're far from home, we're far from well
I wish I could have joined them for an hour
But anyway...
This country's been dreaming...
It's all right for awhile...

But look at it's children
Too human and sad
Their questions all stupid
And the answers all mad
In Hysteria

So what for did we come here?
I guess we came here to learn
'Coz somebody told us
You've got books here to burn
And we came for the buildings
And we came for the mountains
And we came for the restaurants
And we came for your women
And we came for the pacific ocean
And we came for the drugs
And we came for your souls
Sounds stupid, but we came for your souls

Oh Hysteria, God save us from Hysteria
Just get my ticket home from Hysteria
