verse 1
he likes to keep his brain
on the more mundane
cos some things, they just are, you know
Riff 1
things are falling into place
he's thinking of the chase
and picturing her face
upon the body of
a silicon based porn-star

verse 2
Riff 1
star-cross'd lovers take their lives
every friday nite
he's swearing by the moon again
Riff 1
she tells invented dreams
finds it hard to breathe
writes his name in steam
upon the shower screen
with her left hand
