Lyrics

Ahead (II)

[Verse 1]

Lips growing for service

Eyes steady for peeling

Bring on the special guest

A monkey caught stealing

Standard rewards in corners

Is full-board in new quarters

Kneeling for pleasure

Ensures a good time

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

[Verse 2]

Someone is taking you

Someone has taken me

TV doesn't understand

A word that matters

Scattering desires to

Smoldering fires

Someone has taken you

Someone is taking me

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

[Bridge]

I remember

Making the body search

That is was nothing

But enough for ahead

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember, I remember

Making the body search

I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember

Making the body search

[Chorus]

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

I remember, I remember

Making the body search

[Chorus repeats]
