Basement babies strangling saxophones
They got twisted motives, they got eyes of stone
And it's a terminal condition that is tattooed on their shoes
It's not that they don't need you
They're too mixed up to choose
Broken noses hung up high on the wall
Back-slapping drinkers cheer the championship brawl
But they're so punch drunk they don't understand the word defeat
They can take you out and shoot you
They can't confiscate that beat
Steam engineer breaks down in the newsreel
He's seen the future of the diesel wheel
Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard
When you're used to the glamour it comes at you twice as hard
Sometimes I think that I have had enough
Sometimes I scare myself by giving up
Oh you know that I can't turn it off
Young girl rehearses all her blackmail faces
She's looking for a love that lasts
She'd never break the heart of any aces
But she's learning pretty fast
They got twisted motives, they got eyes of stone
And it's a terminal condition that is tattooed on their shoes
It's not that they don't need you
They're too mixed up to choose
Broken noses hung up high on the wall
Back-slapping drinkers cheer the championship brawl
But they're so punch drunk they don't understand the word defeat
They can take you out and shoot you
