Now you’re talking in headlines

Up to the minute and free

Stop press - hold the front page

Up as your mirror

Are you reading me?



I watch you walking in waltz time

A jig-saw puzzle in tune

Or are you fakin' a straight line

To suit yourself too soon?



Rather nouveau than never

Contemporary ideal

Some natural kind of poet might slow it

But she sells more my speed



She sells country and modern

Ancient western song

Of oriental confusion

You so right, me so wrong



Now you’re fixin' to fly me

Auto-erotic pleas

Off the record you’re glidin'

Your lingerie’s a 'gift-wrap' - 'Slip it to me'



Nine till five

The daily grind

Made-up eyes make up my mind

Same machine

consuming me, consuming you



Know why

She sells?

I need

.

Oh I see why

She sells -

I need.
