Worked at the airport
Washin' dishes for mid-level politicians
Just shakin' ass in business class
Penny loafers and petty cash
Nothing's changed here, the rich man got richer
Still white picket fences, wanderin' fingers
And I've known the touch of hundred men
Hands on my body like hands in the wind
My hands in the wind out the window in your car
I'm dreamin' of bein' real, fuckin' far from here
Someday I, someday I know
God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play
Dancin' down the halls of the clinically insane
Might be the drugs, but you look just like Jesus
And I'm swimmin' out to sea
At one of those great, white beaches
Before I fall to pieces
Kiss me once like you mean it
Might be the drugs, but you look just like Jesus
And I'm swimmin' out to sea
At one of those great, white beaches
Starin' down the barrel of some damn son of a gun
And I'm scared to death, he's just havin' fun
Got a real tight grip on his pearls in my neck
Rollin' up that dope to get as high as my rent
I survived but I wasn't stronger for it
Just broke down and cried at the corner of Beverly and Queen
"Bobby, come get me", "How you doin', hun'?"
Well, they fuckin' tricked me, sold me out to the nuns
God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play
Dancin' down the halls of the clinically insane
Might be the drugs, but you look just like Jesus
And I'm swimmin' out to sea
At one of those great, white beaches
God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play
Dancin' down the halls of the clinically insane
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Spinnin' me around in my little pretty gown
Before I fall to pieces
(God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play)
Kiss me once like you mean it
(God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play)
Might be the drugs, but you look just like Jesus
And I'm swimmin' out to sea
At one of those great, white beaches
(God's gonna give up the ghost
Just let the fuckin' record play)
Baby, baby (Dancin' down the halls of the clinically insane)
Might be the drugs but you look just like Jesus
And I'm swimmin' out to sea
At one of those great, white beaches
