How Did It Come To This?

Just the other day somebody
Said to me, hey maybe you’re just
Slightly schizophrenic and
A little out of reach my friend.
I said, yes that’s partly true,
But jokes aside, I can explain,
It’s just my way of keeping track with
Living on this planet now, then
Have you turned on your TV?
Have you seen reality?
Have you found the program,
That you’ve spent your whole life looking for?
There’s a girl in Camden Town,
And decision makes her frown.
Which dress should she wear today
And which way should she smile at me?

How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?

All this noise and all these lies,
All this talking through the nights,
All this expectation now,
It’s making me neurotic, tell me
Have I seen your face before?
Have I forgot to say hello!
Though I’d made it clear now,
That I’ve always been a smiler, tell me
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
Sometimes it’s like I’m a world away.
Sometimes I feel a world away.
Just the other day somebody
Said to me, hey maybe you’re also slightly
OCD, a little out of reach my friend.
I said, yes that’s partly true,
But jokes aside, please stay with me,
It’s just my way of compartmentalising
All the things I see.
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
How did it come to this?
How did it ever come to this?
