lyrics

Rachel, give me a massage.
I'm so achy, my skin's like cabbage.
Your face makes me jumpy, it's far too lumpy.
And this isn't helping anymore,
my spine is yelping like a dog.
Like a dog who needs to be set-free.

Samantha's crawling like a panther.
In a black leather cat-suit on all fours,
on a parachute on the floor.
She's horny but she's far too scrawny
and this isn't helping anymore,
now that she's yelping like before.
Like a doll that needs a place to play.

I've started something.

Tuesday was such a very strange day,
Underworld made easy,
there you see the melody was all wrong.
My fake uncle has got a very nice carbuncle.
He eats periwinkles from a jar,
He likes them wrinkled from afar.
In his car where he spends most of the day.
