[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom, just below the stairs
There's always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China, so finish what you got, yeah

[Chorus]
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days, indeed
Strange days, indeed

[Verse 2]
And everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
And everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you gotta lay around
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

[Chorus]
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days, indeed
Strange days, indeed

Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days, indeed
Strange days, indeed

[Outro]
And nobody told me there'd be days like these
And nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days, indeed

The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Formed in 1983 as a small-town noise rock foursome, The Flaming Lips have gone through numerous lineup changes and style reinventions, ultimately settling on a consistent core in the late 1990s with frontman Wayne Coyne, chief composer Steven Drozd, and bassist Michael Ivins putting out sublime pop-rock with grandiose synth-orchestral backing arrangements.

Notable former band members include Wayne’s brother Mark Coyne, who was the band’s first vocalist, Jonathan Donahue, who went on to become the frontman of Mercury Rev, guitarist Ronald Jones, and roadie turned tour drummer Kliph Scurlock.

Once Wayne took over as frontman in the late 1980s, the Lips were known for their loud, psychedelic guitar rock (an aesthetic best summed up in the name of an early works compilation “Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid”) and wild stage antics.
