It's been a while since I've seen your face
It's been a while since I've walked this place
I see the monkeys riding on their bikes
Racing through the impossible night
You say you're feeling like a new tree
Man, they'll cut you from limb to limb
Pick your pocket with delight
Shake it to the right
Shake it in the light
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
ย
Genius stalking in new shoes
Have you got WTO blues
Dust of diamonds
Making you sneeze
Kids on rollers ready for
Running through the junkyards
Breezing through the halls
Racing through the malls
Walking through the walls
They'll strip your mind
Just for fun
Quoth the raven
Yum yum yum
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
ย
Children, children everywhere
Selling souls for souvenirs
They've been sold out like as not
Just for chunks of Ankgor Vat
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
Oh can't you see the glitter
The glitter in their eyes
ย
They'll trade you up
Trade you down
Your body a commodity
Our sacred stage
Has been defaced
Replaced to grace
The marketplace
Dow is jonesing at the bit
42nd Disney Street
Ragged hearts unraveling
Look out kids
The gleam the gleam
All that glitters
Is not all that glitters
Is not all that glitters
