<poem>
|On the day that your mentality
Decides to try
To catch up with your biology
Come 'round
 
'Cause I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
 
On the day that your mentality
On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
catches up with your biology
I want the one I can't have
and it's driving me mad
it's written all over my face


I want the one I can't have
(repeat)
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face


A double-bed
A double-bed
And a stalwart lover, for sure
and a stalwart lover, for sure
These are the riches of the poor
these are the riches of the poor


A double-bed
A double-bed
Line 55: Line 35:
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor


And I want the one I can't have
(refrain)
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over my face


A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
he killed a policeman when he was
And somehow that really impressed me
thirteen
It's written all over my face
and somehow that really impressed
me
it's written all over my face


These are the riches of the poor
On the day that your mentality
These are the riches of the poor
catches up with your biology
 
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's written all over my face


On the day that your mentality
Catches up with your biology
And if you ever need self-validation
And if you ever need self-validation
Just meet me in the alley by the railway-station
just meet me in the alley by the
It's all over my face
railway-station
it's all over my face
