They fall from your mouth Propelled by your belly and your tongue I shiver when you shake And I fold into jelly I think I loved you more than me Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or do you make it up My baby cherry slipped Pass me through your fingertips Throw me down like an old rag I'm not standing Don't look back Are you human Or a dog Are you human Or do you make it up Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or do you make it up They went searching For your body They went looking But there's nobody Who smells like you Who looks like you You're not human, too Are you human Or a dog Are you human Or do you make it up Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or do you make it up (are you human)
