Nothing can come between us
Nothing gets you down
Nothing strikes your fancy
Nothing turns you on
     Somebody is waiting in the hallway
     Somebody is falling down the stairs
     Set someone free, break someone's heart
     Stand up  help us out

Ev'rything is divided
Nothing is complete
Ev'rything looks impressive
Do not be deceived
     You don't have to wait for more instructions
     No one makes a monkey out of me
     We lie on our backs, feet in the air
     Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain

Snap into position
          Bounce till you ache
Step out of line
          And you end up in jail
Bring me a doctor
          I have a hole in my head
But they are just people
          And I'm not afraid
Doctor Doctor
We have nothing in our pockets
We continue
But we have nothing left to offer
     Faces pressed against the window
     Hey! they are just my friends
     Check this out  don't be slick
     Break our backs  it goes like this . . .

We are born without eyesight
          We are born without sin
And our mama protects us
          From the cold and the rain
We're in no hurry
          sugar and spice
We sing in the darkness
          We open our eyes (open up)

I can't believe it
          And people are strange
Our president's crazy
          Did you hear what he said
Business and pleasure
          Lie right to your face
Divide it in sections
          And then give it away

There are no big secrets
          Don't believe what you read
We have great big bodies
          We got great big heads
Run-a-run-a-run it all together
Check it out - still don't make no sense
Makin' flippy floppy
          Tryin to do my best
Lock the door
          We kill the beast
               Kill it!
