Nothing New Under The Sun by Thomas Dolby Lyrics

There is nothing new under the sun

Hippocratic oath
Apathy on toast
Psilocybin nutroast (nutroast, nutroast)

Panic on the seas
Mozzarella cheese
Diplomatic deep-freeze (deep-freeze, deep-freeze)

Stuck for a line
Grovel for a rhyme
God, it's nearly vocal time (vocal time, vocal time)

Head without a spine
Why am I surprised
To find you supine?

Hey, any fool can write a hit
Loop me a breakbeat, baby
I'll tweak it till it fits
Doing the bounce
I can sniff my own armpit
There is nothing new under the sun

From a little germ
Incubate a worm
Watch a chrysalis emerge

Lord of the flies
Human genocides
Lyrically justified

You could have quit while you're on top - I know, I know
There is no fool like a fool
That don't know when to stop

Live long enough
You begin to question
There is nothing new under the sun

Fiddle with a stapler
Spin a paperweight
Watch the market fluctuate (fluctuate, fluctuate)

Suddenly a tune
Bolt from the blue
Music is in love with you
Somehow the cancer found a lung (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You woke up to hear your words
On the tip of every tongue

Now go learn to live
The legend you've become
There is nothing new under the sun
There is nothing new under the sun
There is nothing new
