Lyrics

Sophisticated slave trade, rhythmically admired
Give me your punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling, he can't sit still
He's got that same old feeling
The same old thrill
The same old thrill
Gooseflesh, giggling, stimulating scenes
Pleasure is a means to the end
Hedonistic high time, he can't get enough
Physical encounters can offend
Dripping like a fish out of water
High and dry
When there's no tomorrow
He doesn't even try
Don't take a walk
When it's easier to run
Don't take it easy
No, don't take it
Don't you touch the flesh, the fragile flesh
He's never going to get near the heart
He can prod and he can poke
But it won't get him closer
He's only playing a part
Across the threshold he feels his nostrils flare
The stifling perfume, so thick in the air
Don't take a walk
When it's easier to run
Don't take it easy
No, don't take it
Don't take it easy
Don't take it easy
No, don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it
Sophisticated slave trade, rhythmically admired
Give me your punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling, he can't sit still
He's got a certain feeling
