Yokohama Chinatown

Cowbell goddess in the groves of Synaesthesia
 Barrel at the temple of a fine young man
 Accidental lovers by the dead canalside
 Genetic engineering a Liberace fan
 In Yokohama Chinatown
 Toxic like the Body Shop
 Intelligent like Benetton
 Dagger in the belly of an also-ran
 Piercing in the Netherlands
 The Devil's in his underpants
 Watch the good consumers wash their hands
 In Yokohama Chinatown
 Sterilised pajamas envelop them in cottonbuds
 Make a world of cardboard, whizz and blow
 Entirely engineered or just a mere co-incidence
 Tell me once again where the lonely go
 To Yokohama Chinatown
 Cubist to the maximum
 A savage young anaesthetist
 The stench of fresh cordite
 Selenium cell
 Under the sign that says 'Kilroy was here'
 It's show and tell
 Semen as a substitute for hair gel
 Sermonised to pauperhood rapacious in the aftermath
 Corrected to a shadow of your former self
 You watch the Velvet Underground perform 'The Gift'
 Sunbathed to a cinder in the Persian Gulf
 While the Dow Jones plummets we are necking in the lift
 Repeat after me 'I love myself'
 'I love myself'
 The side-effects of Benzedrine
 A dose of bitter medicine
 Botticelli's Venus had long blonde hair
 Surprise the former astronaut howling at the moon
 On hands and knees in the peepshow booth
 Catch the quiet receptionist naked in the antechamber
 Leafing through a copy of The Plain Truth
 Sing the phonebook loudly in a baritone voice
 All the vegetarians consider me anti-choice
 In Yokohama Chinatown
 Little Orphan Annie has come to grief
 In Yokohama Chinatown she takes a fellow's trousers down
 And gives the consolation of manual relief
 Looser than a blues man contraceptive rhythm method
 On his hands and knees
 While the Dow Jones plummets
 The stench of fresh cordite
 In Yokohama Chinatown
