Bore into our heads and found thoughtlessness
War has no glory like a woman ignored
God forbid, we indulge when at sea
Come on baby, give me the creeps, give me the creeps
So here's to the empires polluted with dead
I know the stripper's real name, I know the stripper's real name
Or the exactin' improvement of sin
One take is all we need, we're not equipped to stay unloved
When I'm on her mind, I'm never comin' back
When I'm on her mind, I'm never comin' back
Or the bravery of oblivion
There's no difference between bein' holy and alone
Either you or I or both must go
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
But it's all we've got and we're not at all alright
That's why I'm eagerly fleein' the scene, lead footed
Either you or I or both must go
What if they come back, they're drunk and they're lonely?
I'm handin' myself over, I'm turnin' myself in
Nobody knows the trouble I've been
Come on, give me the creeps, give me the creeps
And the truckers' wives who erected them
Never minded the faithless courage of shame
Two timin' is what it takes then we both know
Just the tempest, the temptress and me
We all get lonely
Baby, return the favor and leave somebody you love
Naturally bored thriller
It's arrhythmic, uninvitin' and pliable
I know the stripper's real name, I know the stripper's real name
With the noble irreverence of shrapnel she came for us
One take is all we need, we're not equipped to stay unloved
Two timin' is what it takes then we both know
Bedroom door is an old black lung
