 This is the dawning.. of a new era! x2

 I met a girl from area three

 She told me that she worked in a chicken factory

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Liszt'

 I had to walk her home through area six

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 Sticks and stones may break my bones

 In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks

--SLOW BREAKDOWN! PLAY VERSE SLOWED DOWN X2!--

Solo

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor

 ......................The key won't fit the door

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 She said she had a beautiful flat

 We had to sleep on the mat

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven"

 Oh shit, this is area seven

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 This is the dawning... of a new era!

 This is the dawning... it's a new..

'Era! Era! Era! Era!..'
