We see it on TV, we get calls on the phone
By the prophets of doom, they won't leave us alone.
The planet is dying and there's no time to spare.
They spend all our days sowing seeds of despair.

Let's get to the point now
Just because we've got the same mom dad
That don't mean I'm your keeper
That don't mean I owe anything to you
You don't care for me
And man, I don't think that much of you

Cause we're brothers brothers brothers

I want you to dance naked
So I can see you
I'd like to get to know you
You don't have to act naughty

Spin it round and round
Spin it round and round and round

I want you to dance naked

I know you and you know me
We met many years ago
In the halls of some ivy covered university
Where we both used to go
Now we stand outside the Denmark hotel
With Japanese men in their business suits

Why do I think there's nobody out there?
No one who wants me and no one who knows.
I wait in this place, no one can see me.
After all this time could I be so alone?

Sister help me take this pain from my heart.
Help me stand up and find out what is right.
Don't want to exist here in the dark
When the gates of Eden offer so much light.

But there's too much to think about,
Too many problems in my brain.
Yeah, there's too much to think about.

When you were a kid you received no good instruction
And your mother was nowhere to be found
The lies were yelled and the truth was seldom spoken
That's what you get when Margaret comes to town
She likes to keep things upside down
When Margaret comes to town

As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
