What Now?
(shamelessly ripping off What's This?, from Nightmare Before Christmas)
What now? What now?
There's chaos everywhere - What now?
There's shouting in the air - What now?
I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming
Say it Jareth, it's not fair - What now?
What now? What now?
There's something very wrong - What now?
They're singing battle songs - What now?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures fighting
Everybody seems so pissed - oh,
Wait, it's just the Labylist
What now? What now?
There's children throwing peaches
Or else they're throwing blame
They're busy building catapults
And taking careful aim
The fruit flies fast and furious
I can't believe my eyes
And in my nose I smell
The rotten peaches from outside
Oh look - what now?
They're hanging heretics - because
They won't Bowie-worship - how rich!
They've obviously never heard his song
About loving the alien - What now?
What now? Below
The goblins are in sight - let's hope
They're learning how to fight - 'bout time
They've always been a
Useless fighting force, they've got
Progressively much worse, but now they're
Sitting on the ground, and
Passing popcorn tubs around
This is insane!
This is insane!
Oh, can it get much worse than this? What now?
Oh god, what now?
The cleaners are on strike. I bet
They do it out of spite, and yet
Would it be fair to scream and shame them
Or to blame them
Only stupid little things
Afraid of all the mayhem.
What now?
The chickens are all missing
And the piglets have escaped
I've got the horrid feeling
There's some peach goo on my cape
That mangy vulture's gone and done
Its business on my throne
And still those Labylistians
They won't leave me alone
The smells, the sounds
There's pandemonium all round
I've never felt this cross before
An angry noise inside my head is building up
I finally have had enough
I want out, oh, I want out, oh
I want so to escape
I want to go, I want to go
But then who else would run this place?
Oh, what now?!
