When you hear the music you make a dip

Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.

Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.

Hanging out by the state line,

Turning holy water into wine

Drinkin' it down, oh

I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip

Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.

I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so

Say your prayers.

ENow I close my eyC#mes

And I wonder G#mwhy

I don't despBise

ENow all I can dC#mo

Is love what was G#monce

So alive and nBew

But it's gone from your eF#myes

I'd better realiBse

ALes yeux sans visBage eyes without a face

ALes yeux sans visBage eyes without a faF#mce

Got no human grG#m7ace your eyes without a faEce.

Such a human waG#m7ste your eyes without a faEce

And now it's getting worse.
