bringing good news on a fast train
bringing fast news on a goods train
they're running (?) sometime after midnight  (somebody?)
all covered in dirt

and I had nothing but a good deal
and I had a good deal full of nothing
and I'm putting everything (?) in silence
but stranger than noise

concentrating in a cafe
food I'm eating (?) on the table  (put an ??? ?)
seeing plastic for the first time
is something to see

kicking paper in the subway
scratching numbers on a ????
it is (getting?) something like a tent pole
to hold up the beam (?)

talk to me (?)

easy money is as good as it comes
easy living is the best way of life
look around you and see what's going on
everybody is coming on strong

sweeping rubbish in the gutter
and I'm putting products in the cupboard
and I'm on the kerb of music
destroyed through rock'n'roll

??? backwards on the time sheet
carbon copy of a monster (?)
funny theories in a leaflet
bring (?) people to life

and to save the ??? some trouble
and to trouble you to save you
see a car flashing by you in seconds
just killing some time

maybe you're the price for progress
maybe you have tithes (?) to offer
no control beyond a smokescreen
no one seems concerned

creepy (?) off another label today
sticky rumors (?) ??? you this way
what a bargain and you don't have to call
smash a mirror if you don't have a wall
