Lyrics

Wipe it up you're capable of putting back a few when you have to
Memorize the history of your body like a virgin;
Ladies night, 80's night; the kids get high and eat TV,
So do we. For Halloween I want to be Lenny Bruce

I want them to hate me So you can love me on the sly

My old flame broke the 12 bar blues just to prove he could.
He pays the airline DJs now. He is everywhere

I want him to hate me So you can love me on the sly.

I don't feel so far away from you lately, love me on the sly

Fill me in on horrible, how much is there, where else can I live?
The dirty sugar factory on the water should smell sweet

I want them to hate me
I don't feel so far away from you lately, love me on the sly
