I know my words have you worn you down, but you've never known anything else Sex, drugs and rock n roll etc. I can make it better Well, say it like you mean it cos we could go with anybody else Oh, look, something shiny sparkling in the distance You've got my attention I scratch another name Cos we don't bleed the same How longs a piece of string? Oh, it all depends My heart is working overtime I'm sorry son, my hands are tied Small talk, big topic, deep breaths, canned laughter This is a disaster I think I really needed that virtual reality check Something inside me boils to the surface And tells me that its time to scratch another name Cos don't bleed the same How longs a piece of string? How long must we wait?
