Lyrics

Blinking on and off, it's the queen of eyes
With her carapace shell and her black lace thighs
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you

Mucky the pig is out on a limb
He's looking for someone to investigate him
I don't know why he never gets anywhere with you

Here I am again, it's no surprise
Locked in orbit round the queen of eyes
All I ever got from her was lies

In this horrible age of abuse and decay
It's good to know that somebody's looking ok
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you

Blinking on and off, it's the queen of eyes
With her carapace shell and her black lace thighs
I don't know why she never gets anywhere
I don't know why she never gets anywhere
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you

<Alternates>
In this horrible age of decay and abuse     10a
It's good to know somebody's got an excuse  11a

I wish I was short, I wish I was long       10a
She only wishes you'd take her along        11a

I wish I was stoned, I wish I was straight  10a
She only wishes you'd jump on her plate     11a

I wish I was up, I wish I was down 10a
She only wishes she could throw you around 11a
