[Verse 1]
Skin stretched into a school girl pout
Flashing at the buses, Lambrini in the bushes
All change...
The kids are so quiet, almost like they know
Something's got to happen
Something's got to change
All change...

[Pre-Chorus]
You never used to get paralytic
Well maybe I should get paralytic

[Chorus]
And she asks herself why our lives just come and go?
(This art is kinetic...)
And are we ever gonna, ever gonna
Ever gonna get a voice of our own?

[Verse 2]
Skin stretched into a school girl pout
Hand bags getting smaller, pagers out to dinner
How strange...
Tastes like the waste of the Marlboro factory burning down
Well no one's getting younger
Check how black your lungs are
Now change...
Now change...

[Pre-Chorus]
You never used to get paralytic
Well maybe I should get paralytic

[Chorus]
And she asks herself why our lives just come and go?
(This art is kinetic...)
And are we ever gonna, ever gonna
Ever gonna get a voice of our own?
Don't check your hair in her eyes or she will never glow...
(This art is kinetic...)
And are we ever gonna, ever gonna
Ever gonna get a voice of our own?
(This art is kinetic...)

[Bridge]
Next time you see me I'll be
Running my fingers
Over the bar
Of my credit card
Lullabies fell from my eyes
And formed a lake in the cash register's underbite

[Chorus]
And she asks herself why our lives just come and go?
(This art is kinetic...)
And are we ever gonna, ever gonna
Ever gonna get a voice of our own?
(This art is pathetic...)
And we're never gonna, never gonna
Never gonna get a voice of our own?
(This art is kinetic...)
And we're never gonna, never gonna
Never gonna get a voice of our own?
(This art is pathetic...)
