Let's get started right away
Before there's nothing left to laugh about
Before the children are all found
And the satellites fall down
And the stars have all burned out
Let's get high and not get up
Another fag misses the coffee cup
Another wasted afternoon
On a Saturday in June
In a five-storey walkup
I'm only gonna let you down
Could you please turn out the light?
Open the window
Get high in the moonbeam
Chart seas in the ceiling to a melody of star-crossed sounds
Cars passing in the night
Where they go, we can only guess....
Let's get started in the hall
We'll grab Chinese in the shopping mall
Sneak a bottle of Tanqueray into the matinee
By the end we'll drink it all
Give you money, give me head
Don't heed a word of what the TV said
You know, it's all dance contests
And wars and earthquakes
And shit that doesn't matter to us, baby
It doesn't matter, no
It doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, 'cause
I'm only gonna let you down
Could you please turn out the light?
Open the window
Get high in the moonbeam
Chart seas in the ceiling to a melody of star-crossed sounds
Dreamliners taking flight
Where they go, we can only guess
Only guess, oh oh oh oh.....
Another dream has gone away
Another wasted Saturday
Another dream has gone away
Another wasted Saturday
Another dream has gone away
Another wasted Saturday
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
I'm only gonna let you down!
But let's get started right away.

Trans Am

Rubber on asphalt and gasoline
The sweet scent of a fast machine
Blood of fire and bones of steel
Burning bird flying across the flames
Angel's wings and a demon's name
Make way for a juggernaut
Chariot riding out the two-lane blacktop
Spring your false idols
In Detroit we trust
One to one-sixty
Leave 'em loving the dust
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
Wanna go for a ride?
Why don't you come inside?
Piston V8 gonna make you feel
Leather grip on the steering wheel
Ram air cam for a high-rev dream
Kick her back into third
And make the bad girl scream
Siren song of a purring carburetor
Wave the lady goodbye
She won't see you later
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
Wanna go for a ride?
Why don't you come inside?
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am
My other song is a Trans Am

Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time
Girl, you're wasting my time

How can you talk so lame
When the whole world's gone insane?
Stop and listen to the beatbox of the Vox Humana
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
Man, you're wasting my time
How can you be so lame
When the whole world's gone insane?
Stop and listen to the beatbox of the Vox Humana
Everyone's insane
The whole world's gone insane
Everyone's insane
The whole world's gone insane
Everyone's insane
The whole world's gone insane
Everyone's insane
The whole world's gone insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Insane, insane, insane, insane
Everyone's insane

Shapeshifter

Got to find my old self again
No idea how, don't know when
It's been a long time coming
I'm a long way out
Ooh-wah-ho
Making wagers against the house
On borrowed money from a borrowed spouse
Only one way to win: have zero to lose
Ooh-wah-ho
I'm gonna drive down, down, down
Along the ocean tonight
Touch in the beat of the waves
To the purple moonlight
You can find me any given moment
Head weary and a touch heartbroken
In a white tuxedo, a martini in one hand
Poking out the notes to some Scott Walker --
Or maybe it's Bowie
Or more likely neither --
On a 747 in the piano lounge
As we land....
Steel whale sailing down, down, down
Above the ocean tonight
Touch in the beat of the waves
To the purple moonlight
Steel whale sailing down, down, down
Above the ocean
Whoops!
Time to trade in for another skin
Ooh-wah-ho
Ever the odd-man-out at the party
Chainsmoking, and vaguely sorry
Hey, it's no big thing
I guess it's better to give than receive
Don't know how long I've been standing here
But it's a fine, fine moment to disappear
'Cause I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never catch me leave
Well, I'm a shapeshifter
And you'll never....
