Australia |
| Time to put the earphones on No! |
| La la la la La la la la Laaaaaaa |
| La la la la |
| (Born to multiply) Born to multiply |
| Born to gaze into night skies |
| When all you want’s one more Saturday |
| Well look here until then |
| They gonna buy your life’s time |
| So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters |
| 'Till the day we come in doing cartwheels |
| We all crawl out by ourselves |
| And your shape on the dance floor |
| Will have me thinking such filth I’ll gouge my eyes |
| You’d be damned to be one of us girl |
| Faced with a dodo’s conundrum |
| I felt like I could just fly |
| But nothing happend every time I tried |
| Wooo, ooooh! |
| A duotone on the wall |
| The selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all |
| Never dreamt of such sterile hands |
| You keep them folded in your lap |
| Or raise them up to beg for scraps |
| You know he’s holding you down |
| With the tips of his fingers just the same |
| Will you be pulled from the ocean |
| But just a minute too late |
| Or changed by a potion |
| And find a handsome young mate for you to love |
| You’ll be damned to pining through the windowpanes you know |
| You’d trade your life for any ordinary Joe’s |
| Well do it now or grow old cause |
| Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold |
| Been alone since you were twenty-one |
| You haven’t laughed since January |
| You try and make like this is so much fun |
| But we know it to be quite contrary |
| La la la la la la la Dare to be one of us girl |
| Faced with the android’s conundrum |
| I felt like I should just cry |
| But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin |
| Yeah Himmler in your coat you don’t know how long I’ve been |
| Watching the lantern dim starved of oxygen |
| So give me your hand and let’s jump out the window |
