Now you're talking in headlines

Up to the minute and free

Stop, press, hold the front page

Up as a mirror

Are you reading me?



Watch you walking in waltz time

A jigsaw puzzle in tune

Or are you faking a straight line?

To suit yourself too soon



Rather nouveau than never

Contemporary ideal

Some natural kind of poet might slow it

But she sells more my speed



She sells country and modern

Ancient western song

Of oriental confusion

You so right, me so wrong



Now, you're fixing to fly me

Auto-erotic, please

Of the break that you're gliding

Your lingerie's a gift-wrap

Slip it to me



Nine till five

The daily grind

Made-up lies

Make up my mind



Same machine

Consuming me

Consuming you



Oh, why? Oh, why?

She sells, I need

Oh why? Love why?

She sells, I need



Oh, why? Oh, why?

She sells, I need

Oh why? She why?

She sells, I need



Oh, why? Oh, why?

She sells, I need
