| Third chorus - pedal steel guitar |
| Can't you hear those cavalry drums |
| Hijacking your equilibrium |
| Midnight hags in the mausoleum |
| Where the pixilated doctors moan |
| Carnivores in the Kowloon night |
| Breathing freon by the candlelight |
| Coquette bitch slap you're so polite |
| Till you thank them for the tea and sympathy |
| I want to defy the logic of all sex laws |
| Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists |
| I'll let you be my chaperone at the halfway home |
| I'm a full grown man but I'm not afraid to cry |
| Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine |
| Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line |
| Running buck wild like a concubine |
| Whose mother never held her hand |
| Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz |
| Wearing hepatitis contact lens |
| Bed and breakfast getaway weekends |
| With Sports Illustrated moms |
