If you're wrapping up the world
cause you've taken someone elses girl,
When they turn on the pillow,
Even when they answer the telephone,
Don't you think that by now,
Tell me, don't you think that by now.
When they do it you're never there.
When they show it you stop and stare.
Abacab he's in anywhere.
Abacab doesn't really care.

It's an illusion, it's a game,
Or reflection of someone else's name.
When you wake in the morning,
Wake and find you're covered in cellophane.
Well, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere.
Now there's a hole in there somewhere.
When they do it you're never there.
When they show it you stop and stare.
Abacab he's in anywhere.
