Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born to my amusement
Intellectual wolves like that
Old but un-lived
Intellectual wolves like that
Intellectual wolves like that
[Verse 2]
Hiding out
Flying lower than a kite shoved in the closet
No deposit, no return
[Verse 3]
Just right now
I'm not looking for the kind of guy
Who'll turn my third place medal
Into gold
[Verse 4]
Love maneuvers on the omnibus
Pairing up in lab coats for their frog dissection
Look at his guts
[Verse 5]
Holy ghost
Am I just another milepost on the ascension to
Wherever you roll?
[Verse 6]
You take it from the backside
Love is open wide
Uh-huh
[Verse 7]
Just right now
I'll start looking for the kind of guy
Who turns my third place medal
Into gold
[Verse 8]
Why you gotta ask?
Why don't you just know?
Why you gotta ask?
Why don't you just know?
The time is coming past
And now I gotta go
