This is the dawning.. of a new era! x2

I met a girl from area three

She told me that she worked in a chicken factory

This is the dawning... of a new era!

By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Liszt'

I had to walk her home through area six

This is the dawning... of a new era!

Sticks and stones may break my bones

In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks

--SLOW BREAKDOWN! PLAY VERSE SLOWED DOWN X2!--

This is the dawning... of a new era!

I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor

......................The key won't fit the door

This is the dawning... of a new era!

She said she had a beautiful flat

We had to sleep on the mat

This is the dawning... of a new era!

Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven"

Oh shit, this is area seven

This is the dawning... of a new era!

This is the dawning... it's a new..

'Era! Era! Era! Era!..'
