Lyrics

Destiny Calling

So we may be gorgeous
So we may be famous
Come back when we're getting old
Cover us in chocolate
Sell us to the neighbours
Frame us in a video
Clone us in a test tube
Sell us to the multitude
Guess that's the price of fame
She likes the black one
He likes the the posh one
Cute ones are usually gay
Here we come, this is our destiny calling
We're freaks
This is our destiny calling, unique
This is our destiny calling, now

Don't believe the adverts
Don't believe the experts
Everyone will sell our souls
Get a little wiser
Get a little humble
Now we know that we don't know
Tell us when our time's up
Show us how to die well
Show us how to let it all go
Here we come, this is our destiny calling
We're freaks
This is our destiny calling, unique
This is our destiny calling, now
Some fat cat's playing the roulette with lives
This game is fixed it's all a lie
Some fat cat's playing the roulette with lives
This time is good, there's no straight lines
Some fat cat's playing the roulette with lives
Forget myself, we're all entwined
There's no straight lines

Here we come, this our destiny calling
We're freaks
This is our destiny calling, unique
This is our destiny calling, now
Here we come, this our destiny calling
We're freaks
This is our destiny calling, unique
This is our destiny calling, now

This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
Now
Now
