Shine the headlight/Straight into my eyes/Like the roadkill

Shine the headlight/Straight into my eyes/Like the roadkill/I'm paralysed/You see through my disguise/At the drive-in/Doublefeature/Pull the lever/Break the fever/And say your last goodbye.

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture/Like stepping back in time/Trapped in amber/Petrified/And still not satisfied/Airs and social graces/Elocution so divine/I'll stick to my needle/And my favourite waste of time/Both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way
