Why don't you take a look in my mouth
Why don't you take a look at yourself
So why don't you, take a look around
So why don't we, take a look inside

Roll out the shock parade
Free falling from a stage
Performance and cocktails
Roll up and shine

I hang the devil from a circus wire
Face up seats, four in love, spitting fire
So why don't you, take a look around
So why don't we, take a look inside

Roll out the shock parade
Free falling from a stage
Performance and cocktails
Roll up and shine

It's time to live, it's time to love
It's time to do what's afraid of
It's time to breath, time to relieve
It's time to shine

So why don't you, take a look around
So why don't we, take a look inside

Roll out the shock parade
Free falling from a stage
Performance and cocktails
Roll up and shine
Bring on your shock parade
Freaks falling from the stage
Performance and cocktails
Roll up and shine

When you think about it,
He's watching every word you say, hey, dazed.
And when he's sussed you out
He calls her up and out she comes and hustles us

Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers,
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered

He watched the lesbian talk,
She kissed and groaped but mostly talked in lust, crushed
He couldn't make the call,
His eyes were gripped on licking tongues,
Enough's enough, failed for once

Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers,
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered

Long digging, gone fishing, love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers,
Met in a church a night to remember,
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered,
Saved what they stole to meet at the alter,
Place where they first set eyes on each other,
Flew to the sun to start life all over,
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals

Wait to wake to get a ride in the rain,
Buy a ticket they can check, we can claim
So we don't spend what's our own,
For a seat, a place to stop,
A green light, a red cross,
Run around naked doing old things like the ones before

For a break so you can take a little something,
That'll make your next break,
Come a little quicker than the ones before,
For an answer, spy a sweet dancer,
As she walks from the door of the hall,
Wish you waited for your wedding vows

So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?

We wait to get warm, the car starts from cold,
Stall to make a first move,
Magazines make the rules to make us lose,
For your dream man, the house you could both plan,
The car in the sales ad,
The wet dream with a man you wished that you had

So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?

A watched pot never boils, sugar second to dissolve,
See your appetite lost, foods relevance lost inside
Wait to get there, and when we get there,
We wait around for anyone to tell us what we even got there for

So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
So hurry up and wait
But what's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?
What's worth waiting for?

So join the queue,
Me and you,
Wait in line,
It takes our time to be satisfied...

I've never been here before,
Didn't know where to go,
Never met you before,
I've never been to your home,
That smells not unknown,
Foot steps made of stone,
Walking feels familiar

You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.

People drinking on their own,
Push buttons on the phone,
Was I here once before?
Is that my voice on the phone?
That last drink on my own,
Did I ever leave at all?
Confusions familiar

You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.

You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, anything that's new.
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, underground, pick a part that's new,
You can do all the things that you like to do,
All around, upside down, pick a part that's new.
So what's new to you?
What's new to you?
What's new to you?

There's things I want,
There's things I think I want,
There's things I have,
There's things I wanna have,
Do I want the dreams?
The ones were forced to see?

Do I want the perfect wife?
The word perfect, ain't quite right
Shopping every day, take it back the next break,
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk your life

I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling

A house I've seen,
Another coulda' been,
You drenched my head,
And said what I said,
You said that life is what you make of it,
Yet most of us just fake

I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling

I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
ooh, I'm just looking,
Keeps me trying

I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
ooh, I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling

There's things I want,
There's things I think I want,
There's things I have,
There's things I wanna have,
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk your life
Well I'm just looking,
I'm not buying,
I'm just looking,
Keeps me smiling

You could lick or chew,
Tongue in style tonight,
Champagne drag queen suit,
Pinstripe outta line, it's time to try how,
Blisters on your feet,
Blisters up your spine,
If I could choose from two
I'd mime to be a smile, ha ha ha ha

But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of...

You could pick and lose,
Diesel dreams for crime,
I should win and choose,
Colours undersize,
A naked fake that's,
Face that fits for two,
Sex brings out the spies,
Hanging from your feet,
Hollywood star style, ha ha ha ha

But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find out, I'm gonna find a piece of you

But when you rely on a lie that's true,
And no one believes in the things you do,
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a piece of you
But when you rely on a lie that's true,
No one believes in the things you do
Cause half of the lies you tell ain't true,
I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a, I'm gonna find a piece of you

Traveling through, a tunnel under sea,
You never know, if it cracks in half,
You're never ever gonna see me

But you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life...

I wouldn't believe your wireless radio,
If I had myself a flying giraffe,
You'd have one in a box with a window

But you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life...

Life in the summers on it's back,
You have to agree that that's the crack,
So take what you want,
I'm not coming back

So you can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like,
You can have it all if you like
And you can pay for it the rest of your life... life... life... life...

He was walking round to you,
One said French afternoon,
So he called in to a shop for two,
He bought himself an ice drink,
A totally tropical nice drink,
Then he saw what he thought was you in a room

He thought about going over,
But you were always much older,
And your sex dressed breasts, impressed too,
He'd really like to get it together,
Before the twelth of never,
So he's coming over

It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck

He always liked them older,
So that his top lip touched on her shoulder,
Lionized undisguised kill for you,
Like to show you his t-shirt sun tan,
Love to show you his minute head stand,
Then a gun spun open

It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck

From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you
From you to me, to me to you

It's when all the phases come around, the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
It's when all the phases come around the clothes you wear,
The sex and love it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
Out of luck, hey hey heya

It's another way, to get through the day,
Picking up ripped cigarette boxes hoping that one remains
Yellow lucky day, suck deep and bathe,
For the next ten minutes spent coughing all the pleasures craved

Write down all the things that you'd like to say,
Write down all the things that you'd like to change,
Write down all the places you'd like to stay,
Write down anything that you want

Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?

Cracked rock top wall, left the ash to fall, left alone to wait,
I've never looked at things I've liked only things I hate
You're not the first today, not the softest face,
Was there any that you liked? was there any that you didn't fake?

Write down all the things that you'd like to be,
Write down all the things that you don't believe,
Write down all the places you'd like to see,
Write down anything that you want

Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?
Is nothing gonna change the way?

Because, everything that's you,
And the things that you like to do,
And all of the things that are,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again, come back again,
Come back again,

Is yesterday, tomorrow, today?

They're calling out, come on lets go,
But I'm miles away to a year before,
Laughs from the glass, drank to the past,
On the old green seat, like velvet to the hand

Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?

Last one for some, sick from the rum,
I played golf on the carpet with someone,
Crash back to date, few things I hate,
But I'd rather us live in the present day

Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?

Think I'd like to stay a minute longer
Would you like to stay a minute longer?
If you like I'll stay a minute longer
If you like I'll stay a minute longer
Its longer,
Its longer,
Its longer,
Longer

She's got another fantasy,
She lives in flat number twenty three,
Picked first prize for carnival queen,
And now she takes her clothes off,

Collects the covers off her magazines,
She longs to be another teenage dream,
The problem is she's turning forty three,
She still takes her clothes off

Got the nick-name porta bubble Joan,
They found her dead, dead as nails at home,
And she said, I'm gonna be another Marilyn,
Bleach my hair, and get real thin,
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me

She loved to have her little fantasies,
She longed to be the wife of Jimmy Dean,
But Jimmy's head sits in Jimmy's knees,
She loved to take her clothes off

Police are looking round at twenty three,
They found her hanging from her swollen feet,
They saw her dance last in Woolworth street,
She loved to take her clothes off

Got the nick-name porta bubble Joan,
They found her dead, dead as nails at home,
And she said, I'm gonna be another Marilyn,
Bleach my head, and get real thin,
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me

Everybody's gonna wanna dance with me,
Everybody wants to be the carnival queen,
Everybody's gonna wanna dance with me,
Everybody wants to be the carnival king or queen,
We all read the books, she takes her clothes off,
One by one, one by one, off again

Plastic California, looks like Blackpool outta date,
Some love, some hate,
It's all your competition,
It's not my occupation, true,
But it's what you do

Some love, some hate,
Some love, some hate,

I like pink architecture,
Flip back my red strip deck chair,
Prove, we got nothing to prove,
Gin stroke amnesia problems,
Overhearing talk of Hollywood,
We wish we could, you should

Some love and some hate,
Some love and some hate,
la la la la
la la la la

It's a beautiful place for nature,
And all the beautiful people make it true,
You look good as you

Some love and some hate,
Some love and some hate,
Makes me feel great,
Makes me feel great,
I feel new, d'you feel new? ha, ha,
D'you feel new? ha, ha,
D'you feel new? ha, ha, ha, ha
Well I'm pleased to meet you

I stopped to fill my car up,
The car felt good that day,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good for a change

A five and a pocket full of silver,
I paid the lady no change,
And then it started to piss down,
I started driving again,

And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me,
And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me

A man round forty in the backseat,
Must have stepped in when I was empty,
So why's he sat there just waiting?
Likely to smash my face in

He had a bag full of money,
He said just drive me away,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good to be strange

And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,
And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,

Curiosity is over, I stepped down from the car,
He pulled a gun from his jacket,
Said I was going to die

It gives me so much satisfaction,
To watch you beg and cry,
Well I just made up this story,
To get your attention makes me smile

I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me,
I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me
