She Sells

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

Watch you walking in waltz time

A jigsaw puzzle in tune

Or are you faking a straight line?

To suit yourself too soon

[Verse 3]

Rather nouveau than never

Contemporary ideal

Some natural kind of poet might slow it

But she sells more my speed

[Verse 4]

She sells country and modern

Ancient western song

Of oriental confusion

You so right, me so wrong

[Verse 5]

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

[Bridge]

Nine till five

The daily grind

Made-up lies

Make up my mind

Same machine

Consuming me

Consuming you

[Outro]

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 I see why

She sells, I need

Oh, why? Oh, why?

She sells, I need
