Lyrics

I only wanted what everyone wanted
Since bras started burning up ribs in the 60's
Favors are flying, faces are falling
All I desire is to never be waiting
If that's a crime let's commit it
There's a new crime, sexual suicide
When our underwire radio tears into their international airwaves
Boredom will die! ears will bleed!
All they desire is to give and to please
There's a new crime, sexual suicide
There's a new crime, let's commit it
While we're waiting on the next day, to begin it in the best way
There's a new crime, sexual suicide
There's a new crime, let's commit it
Don't worry, heather, about forever
Don't worry about me

It's a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice
It's a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice

Will we always be like little kids
Running group to group asking who loves me?
Don't know who loves me!
It's pathetic. it's impossible
Like girls in stilettos
Like girls in stilettos
Like girls in stilettos trying to run
