Oh What a Dangerous Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well they sit out by the hot tubs
Oh what a dangerous life
And they talk about how they got their stuff
Oh what a dangerous life
They drink zombies on the sunnyside
With lotion squirts ... and moans
Their precious bodies by the poolsides
Remodeled like their homes...
On silicone successfulness
It's the new American-ness
Yeah you better invest in this
Oh what a dangerous life
Chorus:
And Bissie's in her bathtub
Cleansing herself from the wrath of
Some personal Pasadena
But scrubbing on her white skin
Rubbing all them oils in
Will it make her feel ... any cleaner
in Pasadena
Pasadena
Oh what a dangerous life
Yeah they smoke a little marijuana-ha
Oh what a dangerous life
Then they float on into the sauna-ha
Oh what a dangerous life
Jacuzzis oozing on display
And consciousness raising groans
Say I'm okay you're okay
As long as we stay stoned...
And cloned
On silicone successfulness
It's the new restless-ness
Better get undressed for this
Oh what a dangerous life
Chorus
Silicone successfulness
It's the new restless-ness
Better get undressed for this
Silicone successfulness
It's the new sexless-ness
Won't be depressed with this
Dangerous
