Just like dancing for money (then) instrumental verse
Familiarity breeds contempt so i turn off the radio
From life's pain i'm not exempt i'm just lucky i can go

Took a calculator from my pocket
Checked a picture of us in a locket
I knew you were not in an alarm began to ring
Punched a number on a cordless phone
Made an offer on a dockland's condominium home
Somewhere with no soul that won't remind me

And drive drive drive down that empty highway again
Surrounded by food you don't worry about starvation
Only temptation and keeping sane
Maybe you live in one world or another baby one world or another
And maybe that's right i found myself somewhere under the cover of a
