She's driving away with the dim lights on
She's making a play and she can't go wrong
She never waits too long
She's winding them down on her clock machine
And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

CHORUS
And I don't want to hold her down
Don't want to break her crown
When she says, let's go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, let's go

She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse
She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes
She never likes to choose
She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out
She's a frozen fire
She's my one desire

it takes a fast car lady to lead a double life
it takes a slow star lady if you want to do it twice
you take your backseat rumble
take your frontseat wife
takes a fast car lady to lead a double life

it takes a light foot lady to lead a double life
it takes a good book maybe if you want to do it nice
when you idle at the stop light you better get the signal right
light foot lady, you need a double life

well, lift me from the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it's all gonna happen to you
you think it's a phase
and it's all gonna happen to you
when you drive in the haze

it takes a freeway lady to lead a double life
it takes some leeway lady if you want to do it twice
neon blinking on the street
everyone is bittersweet
freeway lady, you lead a double life

well, lift me from the wondermaze
alienation is the craze
and it's all gonna happen to you
you think it's a phase
and it's all gonna happen to you
when you drive in the haze
it's all gonna happen to you
(it's all gonna happen to you)
that's right I said
and it's all gonna happen to you
that's right well
gonna? say it to you-oo
(it's all gonna happen to you)
well that's right oh?
it's all gonna happen to you-oo, well
I said it's all gonna happen to you-oo-oo yeah
gonna tell ya again, I said
(it's all gonna happen to you) well
(fade)

it's funny, honey, but you don't care
you never wanna take me anywhere
you ride around in your cadium car [echo]
you keep wishin' upon a star [echo]

why is it you don't care
don't ya go, don't ya go, makin' eyes at me
don't remind me [echo]
don't you tell me what to do
shoo be doo [echo]
shoo be doo
don't ya tell me what to do
don't ya tell me what to do
shoo be doo [echo]
don't ya tell me what to do
unintelligible [echo]

shoo be doo [echo]

Candy-O, I need you
Sunday dress, ruby ring
Candy-O, I need you so
could you help me in?

purple hum, assorted cards
razor lights you'll bring
and all to prove you're on the move
and vanishing

Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so

edge of night, distract yourself
obstacles don't work
homogenize
decentralize
it's just a quirk

different ways to see you through
all the same in the end
peculiar star, a-that's who you are
do you have to win?

Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so

Candy-O, I need you so
(Candy-O)
Candy-O, I need you so
(Candy-O)

I can't put yout your fire, I know it's too late
I can't be up for hire, it's not my best trait
The gallow glass is cracking, it's starting to smash
How can you cry without blinking a lash

You're feeling cross and wavy on the edge of the cuff
You're pushing and popping, you don't get enough
You wish that it was over, you never slow down
You're looking for kicks, there's nothing around

CHORUS
You can't hold on too long, it's alright
You can't hold on too long, it's alright

You're surrounded by the laughing boys
They puncture your style
They send for their bandanas, you try for their smile
You'd like to come in colors, you don't know wich one
You can't be too choosy, it's just for fun

CHORUS

he's got his plastic sneakers
She's got her Robuck purse
He's got his butane flicker
She's got it worse

CHORUS
They're crazy about each other
Like a misplaced fix
They're mad about each other
They blame it all on the lust for kicks

He's got his own dumb waiter
She's reading one fell swoop
He gets around to it later
She fills the scoop

CHORUS

He's just a hit parader
She's just a cycle ride
He likes to masquerade her
And she tells him lies

CHORUS

CHORUS
I got a lot on my head
Most of it is you
I got a lot on my head
Can't forget about you

Lock me away where the silly boys go
I'm on top of my nerves, don't you know
Take me apart 'cause I'm out of control
Send me a letter on a midnight scroll

CHORUS
Dance by the window in flamingo pink
Go through the motions in your Romeo mink
Condition's red, disposition's blue
Why am I so attracted to you

CHORUS
Trip down the alleyway, take the back stairs
I know it's good but good isn't fair
That's what you said, flashbulb in your eye
How can I hold you whne you're waving goodbye

CHORUS

can I touch you, are you out of touch
I guess I never noticed that much
geranium lover, I'm live on your wire
oo come and take me whoever you are

she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight

oo inside angel, always upset
keeps on forgettin' that we ever met
can I bring you out in the light
my curiosity's got me tonight

she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
oo she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight

museum directors with high shaking heads
they kick white shadows until they play dead
they want to crack your crossword smile
oo can I take you out for awhile, yeah

she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight
she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight
tonight

she's a lot like you
the dangerous type
she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight
tonight

she's a lot like you
come on and hold me tight
tonight
