There's a scandal in the city, lots of rumors flying round 
I gave them all my money, what I lost they found 
Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea 
Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery 

(There's no peace) No peace for the wicked 
We're dancing till we drop 
(There's no rest) No rest for the wicked 
And we're all too scared to stop 

Oh can't you see the trouble? 
It causes me much pain 
Cause I don't understand 
Why should I stand out in the rain? 
Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea 
Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery 

Satellites spin through the air, suffragettes are everywhere 
When the headlines hit the streets they're gonna knock you off your feet 
Satellites spin through the air, acrobats of atmosphere 
Maybe love will disappear 
I wonder if you really care 

There's two people on the wire 
Making fun of what you said 
Say you're looking for affection 
Won't you look at me instead? 

No peace for the wicked 
We're dancing till we drop 
No rest for the wicked 
And we're all too scared to stop
