Oh I'm living in a noisy neighbourhood
Writing words with a cruel pen
And I play my guitar to the radio
With a very, very shaky hand
Hear me singing shooby doo wop shooby doo wah
Oh my life feels so empty now
Living here in this bourgeois town
The TV news and their dumbassed views
All I think of is getting out
Oh mama there is no shame
To be running to that great escape
There is still a little life in this world
Come on and dance to the Universal
Living with the Universal
Talking 'bout the Universal
Mister you're a part of this world
Come let's dance to the Universal
Now Leonardo he's got plenty to say
When he's got his friends around him
If I could get him in the light of day
I'd like to turn him upside down, yeah
I'm goin' up to the north coastline
The girls are pretty and the weather's fine
I'm tired of fightin' and I'm tired of trying
But I'll walk the wire for you one more time
Oh mama there is no shame
To be running to that great escape
There is still a little life in this world
Come on and dance to the Universal
Living with the Universal
Talking 'bout the Universal
Mister you're a part of this world
Come on let's dance to the Universal
