Lyrics

Fine

I'm a boomerang

In the outback

Keep your throwing arm steady

So I get home

I'm a vampire bat

Out in Shanghai

Haven't eaten in four days

I've ordered in a Chinese takeaway

I show more than I hide

I care more than I cry

I'm a phonograph baby

My wires are live

And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine

I'm a fortune cookie

Full of cheap advice

I'm a suicide rookie

Blowing last call

Show more than I hide

Care more than I can cry

I'm a phonograph baby

My wires are live

And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine
