Nudge reality
Somebody I never met
But in a way I know
Didn’t think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Man dies first reel
People ask what’s the deal?
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
Don’t like no aborigine
Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground
New identity must be found
On the left bank for a while
Insanity Bohemian style
Ritual ideas relativity
Only buildings no people prophecy
Time-slide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Met a dwarf that was no good
Dressed like little Red Riding Hood
Bad habit taking life
Calling card a six inch knife
Ran off really fast
Mumbled something `bout the past
Best sex I’ve ever seen
As if each moment was the last
Drops of blood color slide
Funeral for his bride
But it’s him who’s really dead
Gets to take the funeral ride
Ritual ideas relativity
Only buildings no people prophecy
Time-slide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Space guy fell from the sky
Scratched my head and wondered why
Time slide into time
Across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum
Hall of fame baseball
Senators a Hoodlum
Big chiefs in the hall
Ritual ideas relativity
Only buildings no people prophecy
Time-slide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Stray thoughts fear to tread
Placed upon the screen instead
She’s my flame too hot to hold
Had to settle for her gold
Bloodlust - Greek God - Gold discovery
Gone bust - Tight wad - Slow recovery
Axe job - Flame thrower - Iron bar and gun
Betting shop - New owner - A walk in the sun
Ritual ideas relativity
Only buildings no people prophecy
Time-slide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Spread the news the Maestros back
With a beat-box soundtrack
The King of brains - Queen of the sack
Executives have heart attack
Its assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Center of the universe
Ritual ideas relativity
Only buildings no people prophecy
Time-slide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery...

I never saw the video for this but yes, a great highlight and fine tribute to Mr Roeg.
I saw Mick Jones walkin' along the street again about a month ago. He's still a West London geezer.
Wow. This is a great, great tribute. Love this song and never even put the two together.
Walkabout is the first part "don't like no aborigine"
Performance is the "Gangland slaying underground"
Don't Look Now is "Met a dwarf that was no good"
Man Who Fell To Earth "Space guy fell from the sky"
That's what I got
"Bloodlust - Greek God - Gold discovery
Gone bust - Tight wad - Slow recovery"
...Eureka!
