Lyrics
My baby's on borrowed time
She's got two train tickets to the bottom line
My baby ain't doing fine
She's got real bad feelings running down her spine
She's got a compartmentalized state of mind
She's got two middle fingers for the uninclined
She ought to listen to the jaws of fate
She's got a bone to pick with the head of state
So many questions stay unanswered in my mind
Goodness and beauty ain't getting easier to find
I stopped to smell the roses and I lost my place in line
I fill the holes with sleeping pills and cyanide
Like I'm living in a nightmare
Oh, the mutilation never ends
Is anybody out there?
Tell me that there's time to make amends
Got my eyes shut tight and my nostrils wide
I'm taking in the vibes
Gonna play both sides, gonna turn those tides
I'm raking in the highs
My baby's chock-full of life
She's got red-hot sedition pouring down her knife
You know?
Sweet dreams and gasoline carve through her self-esteem
I got symptoms alphabetical
And grievances ephemeral
And secrets hypothetical to spare
I invest in the heretical
And prejudice identical
And all the theoretical affairs
So many questions stay unanswered in my mind
Goodness and beauty ain't getting easier to find
I stopped to smell the roses and I lost my place in line
I fill the holes with sleeping pills and cyanide
Like I'm living in a nightmare
Pure imagination never ends
Is anybody out there?
Tell me where the angels play pretend
Got my eyes shut tight and my nostrils wide
I'm taking in the vibes
Gonna play both sides, gonna turn those tides
I'm raking in the highs
(Go on, do it again)
(Go on, do it again)
(Go on, do it again)
(Go on, do it again)
(Go on, do it again!)
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Don't do it again
Like I'm living in a nightmare (Living in a nightmare)
Pure imagination never ends
Is anybody out there?
Tell me where the angels play pretend (Don't do it again)
Got my eyes shut tight and my nostrils wide
I'm taking in the vibes (Don't do it again)
Gonna play both sides, gonna turn those tides
I'm raking in the highs
