I want you to do exactly the opposite when I say
Don't get excited
ย
There is always some advantage
To be wielded and brought to bear
It's a lonely occupation
Keeping others at your hair
Your finger's on all the switches
You talk in whispers, you're talking soft
You know all my favourite pitches
Yeah, you know what gets me off
Try to arrange a vital part of me
My interest levels dropping rapidly
You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh
I just don't get excited
I've been running around in circles
Jump, jump, jumping at a cause
They put animals in cages
Specimens in jars
So many, there's no temptation
Baby nails digging at my skin
It don't give me the right sensation
You know it's just another thing
Try to arrange a vital part of me
My interest levels dropping rapidly
You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh
I just don't get excited
Don't get excited, no
Don't get excited, don't get excited
You can talk about it all night long
Think about it, think about it, nothing's wrong
Don't get excited, don't get excited, well
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
ย
Baby listen without thinking
You'd better obey without demands
Oh, don't get edgy and don't start blinking
And don't start making plans
Try to arrange a vital part of me
My interest levels dropping rapidly
You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh
I just don't get excited
Don't get excited, no
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited, don't get excited
Don't get excited
