[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
