China Crisis Safe As Houses
Safe as houses
built on quicksand
because I place my trust
in small town dreams
it's common on crooks
I know the strain of day to day
busy, busy everybody
I've seen the strangest times
it's far from noticed
busy, busy everybody
I know the strain of day to day
I shook of my world
but stood back in amazement
I saw the greatest of worlds
to be the cheapest attraction
Safe as houses
built on quicksand
because I don't compete
for nobody's place
making any difference
I know the strain of day to day
busy, busy everybody
if you could join me now
I would not want for anything or anyone
I shook of my world
but stood back in amazement
I saw the greatest of worlds
to be the cheapest attraction
Safe as houses
built on quicksand
because I waste my time
in backstreet dealings
killing often, everytime
I know the strain of day to day
busy, busy everybody
I've seen the cruelest times
it's far from noticed
busy, busy everybody
