Sticks and stones don't break my bones, you make believe It's lock and load, it's a dead end road to you and me You know what's to go, I'm strict for soul, I make believe And I'm off the rent, I haven't spent, I guarantee So can you not go away If just for one day Ooh, impossible, possible way How would you do know, how'd you do now? Run away, war sounds in you Don't throw your fortune away And I can't get enough Space, space, space, get enough space I'm pale and coy, I'm almost born, I make believe I shimmy-shake, I wake the bed, I'm over me I lost the beat, I can not breathe, don't follow me You push and shove, I've had enough, don't mess with me So can you not go away If just for one day Ooh, impossible, possible way How would you do know, how'd you do now? Run away, war sounds in you Don't throw your fortune away And I can't get enough Space, space I can't get enough space, space
