How Did It Come To This

just the other day somebody

said to me, hey maybe you´re slightly schizophrenic

and a little out of reach my friend.

i said, yes that´s partly true,

but jokes aside, i can explain,

it´s just my way of keep in track with

living on this planet now, then

have you turned on your tv?

have you seen reality?

have you found the program, that you spend your whole life looking for?

there´s a girl in camden town,

and decision makes her frown.

which dress would she wear today and which way should she smile at me?

how did it come to this?

how did it ever come to this?

all this noise and all this lies,

all this talking through the nights,

all this expectation now,

it´s making me neurotic, tell me

have i seen your face before?

have forgot to say hello!

though i´d made it clear now,

that i´ve always been a smiler, tell me

how did it come to this?

how did it ever come to this? (x2)

sometimes it´s like i´m a world away

sometimes i feel a world away

just the other day somebody

said to me, hey maybe you´re also slightly

ocd, a little out of reach my friend.

i said, yes that´s partly true,

but jokes aside, please stay with me,

it´s just my way of compartmentalising

all the things i see

how did it come to this?

how did it ever come to this? (x2)
