Lyrics

Time to put the ear-covers on
 No
 La-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la
 La-la-la-la
 (Born to) born to multiply
 Born to gaze into night skies
 All you want's one more Saturday
 Well, look here until then
 They're gonna buy your life's time
 So keep your wick in the air, and your feet in the fetters 'til the day
 We come in doing cartwheels
 We are caught up by ourselves
 And your shape on the dance floor
 Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes
 You'll be damned to be one of us, girl
 Faced with the dodo's conundrum
 I felt like I could just fly
 But nothing happened every time I tried
 Woo, ooh
 A duotone on the wall
 Selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all
 Never dreamt of such sterile hands
 You keep 'em folded in your lap
 And raise them up to beg for scraps
 You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same
 Will you be pulled from the ocean
 But just a minute too late
 Or changed by a potion
 And find a handsome young mate for you to love
 You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes
 You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe
 Well, do it now or grow old
 Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
 Been alone since you were 21
 You haven't laughed since January
 You try and make like this so much fun
 But we know it to be quite contrary
 La-la-la-la-la-la-la
 Dare to be one of us, girl
 Faced with the androids conundrum
 I felt like I should just cry
 But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
 You're Himmler in your coat, you don't know how long I have been
 Watching the lantern dim
 Starved of oxygen
 So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window
 La-la-la-la-la
 (La-la-la-la)
 La-la-la-la-la
 (La-la-la-la)
 La-la-la-la-la
 (La-la-la-la)
 La-la-la-la-la
