letra de the shopogopolis - paul shapera

[rachael, mascot 3000, both]
day by day, by day, by day
and so, together, here we stay
day by day, by day, by day
you and i, we will find a way
deep inside, we hide away
here in this world, our special place
as day fades into day by day by day, by day

[announcer: (over pa)]

welcome to the shopogopolis
if it exists, it’s here for less

[rachael]
come ’round the bright recursions
come drive the escher wheel
the crowds and children chatter
and only credit runs wild ’round through here
the clerks sigh, smile, sometimes
rent dressing rooms to sleep or mate
different stores immersed in style wars
inspire different gangs armed with cans of paint
come where the chaos
into soft, round, middle age just fades, and

[rachael & mascot 3000]

hide, hide away
and hide, hide away

[rachael]

fool ’round the food court, smirking
adolescents flirt and blush
and every day, i eat their endless
deep-fried, half-unfinished lunch
meander ’round the moebius
which marks your march from crypt to grave
with sales and special sweet’ners
that you’ll love to need, and need to crave
come where the wild uncertain
in the end, is drugged and tamed, and

[rachael & mascot 3000]

hide, hide away
and hide, hide away

(the music fades into a staticy song on the radio.)

[lee (on radio)]

…you’re all i see, and you’re all i save
and you’re all i need, and you’re all i crave
and i love you, love you, so far gone
and all the angels looking down
don’t love you like i do right now
and i love you, love you, so far gone…

(the radio fades back out.)

rachael, mascot 3000, both}
day by day, by day, by day
and still, i hear that song that plays
day by day, by day, by day
the one that’s all in my head, they say
deep inside, we hide away
and so, my mind will slip away
as day fades into day by day by day, by day

[rachael]

come where the muzak chants
incantations to raise your credit score
in here, i rest and dress and hide
hook up with clerks when i get bored
come where the race retires
at the end of evolution’s day
the zenith of domestication
will make you stick steak knives in your brain
come where the wild
at last, is exorcised away, and

[rachael & mascot 3000]

hide, hide away
and hide, hide away

(the radio song fades back in.)

[lee (on radio)]

…you’re all i want, and you’re all i need
and you’re all i hope, and you’re all i dream
and i love you, love you so far gone
i wish a wish of a wish you dreamed
of a far away, where we both can be
and i love you, love you so far gone
i’d cross the world, i’d climb the sawed-off ends of time
i’d fall and crawl and die to have you by my side
we build a paradise, a world where heaven lies
come with me, my sweet delight, oh girl, i’ll take you there tonight
