I've got this bird's eye view
and it's in my brain
clarity has reared
its ugly head again
so this is real life
you're telling me
and everything
is where it ought to be

I like your nerve
I like watching you
but I don't watch what I'm doing
got better things to do
so this is real life
you're telling me
now I'm lost in shock
your face fits perfectly

Laughter staggers on
In between their gags
pounding their faces
he's on his last legs

I don't care to dance
I don't care to dance
I don't want to dance
I'm not going to dance

Angels twitch nervously
the brave and the bold weep
we all want to know who
we should pay tribute to

Hey good looker
hey good looker
you could tell me all about it
go on - tell me all about if
I know your secrets
I know your secrets
you could tell ...

I may have lost the thread
I was supposed to pull
may l say everyone
is irresistible

Everyone is irresistible
now I'm not sure which way I should turn
I can say 'Now I've seen everything'
at last there must be no more to learn

That's what you want to hear
sadly, also it's true
and I know all your ways
and I'm still hung up on you

Oh great beautician in the sky
your innocence just saddens me
I shall throw it all against the wall
take my pleasure in spite of if all

I know your secrets ...
Hey good looker ...
I could fall all night over you
Hey good looker ...
roses are red, violets are blue

You're gonna give me immunity
you're gonna receive punishment
I'm gonna lose myself in you
because you're not quite of this world

There will be rooms
where we shouldn't meet
times I want to screw you up
and leave you in the street
you know everybody
you don't know a thing
you watch me in you
but I know what you're really seeing

With the eyes of the world upon you
you leave nothing to my imagination
and I leave nothing to be desired
cos you're gonna feel like I feel

Now you give me everything
now you give me everything
now you give me everything
now give me everything

And I'll open up like a sliding door
oh so oblique and easy
oh you're so bleak and easy
cos you're gonna feel like I feel

Now you give me everything
now you give me everything
now you give me everything
now give me everything

I beg of you
I beg of you
I beg of you

I suspect you ain't so sweet
as the lust I'm concealing
my skin will crawl back home to Ma
I've lost my way in my feelings

You always collect your fists
when my shadow falls upon your hands
you're just giving body heat away
but they say you're a nice enough young man

I want to see you
don't you wont to see me?
I'm full of questions
you're full of mystery

You can touch yourself anytime
you can touch yourself anytime
so wretched - you are so fetching
stop smiling at me - treat me unpleasantly

You've got the whole world in your wardrobe
your furniture's made to injure me
my skin will crawl back home to Ma
when our souls mingle uneasily

I want to see you ...

Back to nature
I can't go on like this
I want to walk where the power is
back to nature
I don't know where to start
back to nature
I don't have that kind of heart

Back to nature
back to somewhere else
back to nature
and right back on top of yourself
back to nature
I've got to look down
see where I am
or just hit the ground

And I'm telling you
I know what you've been going through
in my heart of hearts
when I was here
and you were there
nothing was between us

We're up in the air
we're down on the ground

Here are your friends again
inching in the bedroom door
ah they wont to touch me
and you show me their hands
how warm and soft and foreign they are
Cubans in surgical gloves
one on top of two an top of three
well I've got more than you
Back to nature
the voyeur will realise
this is not a sight for his sore eyes
back to nature
getting back at you
I couldn't act naturally if I wanted to

Back to nature
a trip that I can't take
people are thinking
that they've dreamed of this place
back to nature
it was somewhere else
back to nature
right back on top of yourself

And I'm telling you
I know what you've been going through
in my heart of hearts
when I was here
and you were there
nothing was between us

We're up in the air ...

This and that, they must be the same
what is legal is just what's real
what I'm given to understand
is exactly what I steal
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd

Shot by both sides
on the run to the outside of everything
shot by both sides
they must have come to a secret understanding

New offences always in my nerves
they're taking my time by force
They all sound the same when they scream
they have to rewrite all the books again
as a matter of course

I wormed my way ...
Shot by both sides ...

'Why are you so edgy, Kid?'
asks the man with the voice
one thing follows another
you live and learn, you have no choice

I wormed my way ...
Shot by both sides
I don't ask who's doing the shooting
shot by both sides
we must have come to a secret understanding

we must have come to a secret understanding
