Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Steady, steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced.
Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, hesitate
[Verse 2]
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Got a stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
[Verse 3]
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
[Verse 4]
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Got a stripe down his back
All nine yards down her back
[Verse 5]
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation
[Verse 6]
(What is in my mind?) Mind
(What is in my mind?)
(What is in my mind, hey now?)
(What's in your mind, hey now?)
(What is in my mind, hey now?)
(What's in our mind, eh, n'yeah, is in our mind, eh, now?)
[Verse 7]
Steady, steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced.
Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, hesitate. Hesitate
[Verse 8]
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting's done
She's got a stripe down her back
All nine yards down his back
[Verse 9]
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear
To conversation fear
Conversation fear
Conversation fear
