Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo ron ron
You wont get far
I'm machine
I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Lobotomy
I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to cry and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same
It's how you look
Not how you feel
A city of glass
With no heart...
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Gitchy, gitchy
Ooh la la
Da doo ron ron
You won't get far
Animals in
the midnight zone
When you own the world
You're always home
Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed or true believers?
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things
I'm machine
I'm obsolete
In the land of the free
Immortality
If I had a tail
I'd own the night
If I had a tail
I'd swat the flies
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
See me dancing on the stars
See me dance...
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
If I have a tail
I will control the night
When we have a tail
We will control...
