Come with me Into the trees

We'll lay on the grass

And let the hours pass

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Let's get away

Just for one day

Let me see you Stripped down to the bone

Let me see you Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis Has nothing on this

You're breathing in fumes I taste when we kiss

Take my hand Come back to the land

Where everything's ours For a few hours

Let me see you Stripped down to the bone

Let me see you Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you Make decisions...

Let me hear you Make decisions Without your television

Let me hear you speaking Just for me

Let me see you Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you speaking Just for me

Let me see you

I'm strapped into my bed, I've got electrodes in my head.
My nerves are really bad, it's the best time I've ever had.

I'm a sick boy and there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy there should be more.

But I'm happy the way I am, like a sardine in can.
People taking notes, people in white coats.

I see school girls everywhere, short skirts and pig-tailed hair.
But why must I suffer, for being a gym slip lover?
