[00:44.78] Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies
[00:49.88]
[00:50.88] When all you want's one more Saturday
[00:53.06]
[00:55.38] Well look here until then
[00:56.74]
[00:57.90] They're gonna buy your life's time
[01:00.27]
[01:01.27] So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
[01:04.05]
[01:04.69] 'Til the day
[01:05.29]
[01:05.99] We come in doing cartwheels
[01:07.25]
[01:08.56] We all crawl out by ourselves
[01:09.85]
[01:11.19] And your shape on the dance floor
[01:12.69]
[01:13.91] Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes
[01:16.12]
[01:16.98] You'd be damned to be one of us girl
[01:20.00]
[01:20.83] Faced with a dodo's conundrum
[01:22.89]
[01:24.49] I felt like I could just fly
[01:25.92]
[01:27.93] But nothing happened every time I tried
[01:30.99]
[01:32.09] Oh duotone on the wall
[01:35.97]
[01:37.13] The selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
[01:40.18]
[01:40.73] Never dreamt of such sterile hands
[01:43.53]
[01:44.74] You keep them folded in your lap
[01:46.50]
[01:47.70] Or raise them up to beg for scraps
[01:50.66]
[01:51.18] You know he's holding you down
[01:52.63] With the tips of his fingers just the same
[01:55.22]
[01:55.98] But you were pulled from the ocean
[01:57.32]
[01:58.60] But just a minute too late
[01:59.73]
[02:01.38] Or changed by a potion
[02:02.70]
[02:03.97] And find a handsome young mate
[02:05.27] For you to love
[02:06.27]
[02:07.22] You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes
[02:09.62]
[02:10.67] You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's
[02:13.14]
[02:14.73] Well do it now or grow old
[02:16.14]
[02:17.44] Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
[02:21.38]
[02:45.13] Been alone since you were twenty one
[02:46.58]
[02:47.51] You haven't laughed since january
[02:49.34]
[02:50.19] You try and make like this is so much fun
[02:52.14]
[02:52.79] But we know it to be quite contrary
[02:54.63]
[02:55.66] La la la la la
[02:56.90]
[02:57.99] Dare to be one of us girl
[03:00.56]
[03:01.51] Facing the android's conundrum
[03:03.20]
[03:05.24] I felt like I should just cry
[03:06.82]
[03:08.94] But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
[03:12.92]
[03:14.41] Yeah himmler in your coat
[03:15.86] You don't know how long I've been
[03:18.26]
[03:19.57] Watching the lantern dim
[03:20.80]
[03:22.17] Starved of oxygen
[03:23.31]
[03:24.93] So give me your hand
[03:25.72] And let's jump out the window
[03:27.56]
