Sexx Laws Lyrics
Beck
Lyrics
Can't you hear those cavalry drums?
Hijacking your equilibrium
Midnight snacks in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan
Carnivores in the Kowloon night
Breathing freon by the candlelight
Coquettes bitch slap you so polite
Till you thank them for the tea and sympathy
I want to defy the logic of all sexxlaws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperoned at the halfway home
I'm a full grown man but I'm not afraid to cry
Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine
Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line
Running buck wild like a concubine
Who's mother never held her hand
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz
Wearing hepatitis contact lens
Bed and breakfast getaway weekends
With Sports Illustrated moms
I want to defy the logic of all sexxlaws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperoned at the halfway home
I'm a full grown man but I'm not afraid to cry
