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?
Watch you walking in waltz time
A jigsaw puzzle in tune
Or are you faking a straight line?
To suit yourself too soon
Rather nouveau than never
Contemporary ideal
Some natural kind of poet might slow it
But she sells ? more my speed
Instrumental
She sells country and modern
Ancient western song
Of or-iental confusion
You so right, me so wrong
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
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? ? Oh, why?
She sells, ? I need
Oh, why? ? Oh, why?
She sells, ? I need
Oh, why? ? Oh, why?
She sells, ? I need
Oh, why? ? Oh, why?
She sells, ? I need
