My Friend The Chocolate Cake - Throwing it away

[Verse 1]
I'm walking down the road where the car yards end
There's bright flags waving in the air
But it don't seem like much of a party here
I don't think so

[Verse 2]
Whilst this man's selling Amway to all his friends
She's been chasing cosmic thrills
Someone's pulling faces from up above?
Yeah, I think so

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Maybe it's all in the way that we strive to be rich
Seems like every last one for themselves
Well it's very last one for themselves

[Chorus]
And we're just throwing it away
Oh well, we had something here
But you never know quite what you've got
Until the other mob comes and takes the whole machinery away

[Verse 3]
If you drive around this city for days on end, the streets all start to look the same
And reason is asleep in this big fat town
Well, I think so

[Bridge / Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe we're falling asleep
Maybe we've lost it, and we won't get it back
Maybe it's all in the way that we strive to be rich
You know it's every last one for themselves

[Chorus]
And we're just throwing it away
Oh well, we had something here
But you never know quite whet you've got
Until the other mob comes and takes the whole machinery away

[Bridge / Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe we're falling asleep
Maybe we've lost it, and we won't get it back
Maybe it's all in the way that we strive to be rich
Seems like it's every last one for themselves
Well it's every last one for themselves

[Chorus]
And we're just throwing it away
Oh well, we had something here
But you never know quite whet you've got
Until the other mob comes and takes the whole machinery away
And we're just throwing it away
Oh well, we had something here
But you never know quite whet you've got
Until the other mob comes and takes the whole machinery away

[Outro]
And we're
And we're
(Scat singing)
