Vision Thing is the third and, to date, final studio album by British gothic rock band The Sisters of Mercy, released in November 1990 on the band's own label Merciful Release. The album was designed by songwriter and singer Andrew Eldritch as an attack on the policies of the George H. W. Bush administration (the title comes from an oft-cited quote by Bush).
Lyrics
"Twenty-five whores in the room next door Twenty-five floors and I need more
I'm looking for the can in the candy store
Two thousand Hamburg four
And colors I ain't seen before
It's a small world and it smells funny
I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money
Take back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
In a long black car
With the prettiest shit
From Panama
When the sirens wail
And the lights flash blue
My vision thing come
Slamming through ...
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
Slamming through
Slamming through
What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?
One million point of light
One billion dollar vision thing
Another black hole in the killing zone
A little more mad in the methedrome
One blinding flash of sense
Just like the president's
Well I don't mind, out of my mind
Blizzard king, bring it on home
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
And a vision thing
And a vision thing
And a sha la la la ...
What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?
One million point of light
One billion dollar vision thing
Sha la la la ...
When the sirens wail
And the lights flash blue
My vision thing come
Slamming through ...
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
Slamming through ...
Slamming through ...
What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?
One million point of light
One billion dollar vision thing"
