?Time to put the ear covers on. NO!?
Intro: E
(Born to) Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
All you want's one more Saturday.
But look here, until then
They're gonna buy your nice time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
To the day.
You come in doing cartwheels
We all crawl out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes.
You'd be damned to be one of us girl
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
I felt like I could just fly
But nothing happened every time I tried.
Wooh Ooooh
A dual tone on the wall
The selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands
You keep them folded in your lap
And raise them up to beg for scraps
You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers
Just the same
Will you be pulled from the ocean
But just a minute too late
Or changed by a potion
And find a handsome young mate for you to love
You'll be damned to pining through the window panes, you know
You'll change your life for any ordinary Joe
Well do it now or grow old
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
Been alone since you were twenty-one,
You haven't laughed since January,
You try and think of this as so much fun,
But we know it to be quite contrary.
lalalala, la la la la
Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the Android's conundrum,
I feel like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
You're humor in your coat, you don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window.
Repeat until End.
