  • I clambered over mounds and mounds of polystyrene foam
    Then fell into a swimming pool
    Filled with fairy snow
    And watched the world turn day-glo
    You know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know

    Uh-oh

    I wrenched the nylon curtains back as far as they would go
    Then peered through perspex window panes
    At the acrylic road
    And watched the world turn day-glo
    You know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know

    Uh-oh

    I drove my polypropolene
    Car on wheels of sponge
    Then pulled into a wimpy bar
    To have a rubber bun
    And watched the world turn day-glo
    You know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know

    Uh-oh

    The world turn day-glo
    You know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know

    Uh-oh

    The X-rays were penetrating through the latex breeze
    Synthetic fiber see-through leaves fell from the rayon trees
    The day the the world turned day-glo
    You know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know, you know
    The world turned day-glo, you know
