More News From Nowhere

I walk into the corner of my room
See my friends in high places
I dont know which is which or who is whom
Theyve stolen each others faces
Janet is there with her high head and hair
And full of bedroom feathers
Janet is known to make dead men groan
In any kind of weather
I crawl over to her
I say, ?Hey baby?,
I say, ?Hey,
