Deviant Ingredient

Heading down
That martini mile
It's a shallow existence
But oh, yeah
I need it, I want it
I got to have it
Neon scene
On Martini Mile
Pink lady
With a blue smile
Show me yours
And I'll show you mine
Oh, man
It's love this time
Sun sinking bright red
We've got
That deviant ingredient
Strip naked soul soup
Delirious
Ooo
The deviant ingredient
So sensuous, delirious
So sensuous
Delirious experience
Strip naked soul soup
Ooo
The deviant ingredient
So sensuous, delirious
So sensuous
Deviant ingredient
Champagne cocktails
On my table
Ciggie butts
In the ashtray
Crew cuts
And bouffants
Expectations
Listen
To the xylophone play
There's a daisy chain
In the drivin' rain
They do the slow Boogaloo
And the Shang-a-Lang
It's the yin
And yang Shang-a-Lang
Slow Boogaloo
Is what they do
With
The deviant ingredient
Got
The deviant ingredient
(Chorus)
I got to have it
I got to have it
Have it
Have it
I am now
An eroticist
I am a fully
Eroticized being
No more neuroses
I found my strip
Naked soul soup
With
The deviant ingredients
(Chorus)
