Took her in
Dropped a line
Turned me on
(I travel I travel)
We never leave each other 'cause we leave each other so cold
Makes it melt away
The easy part is taking yourself in
It's wartime every time
Shot away
Wipe the smile from your face
It's getting in the way
It's wartime every time
She cut me a line and she turned me on
She made it cool
You couldn't do it if you wanted to
(Believe me believe me)
It's wartime every time
Small talk every time
It's my favourite chloroform
It's pill talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Shot away
Ricochet
We're like identical twins
Sucking on the same teat
Spitting out the same things
(I travel far, I travel far)
It's wartime every time
Small talk every time
It's my favourite chloroform
It's pillow talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Ricochet
Line'em up and knock'em down
Shot away
A shot away
A shot away
A shot away
