|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
Catches up with your biology
 
I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over, all over my face
 
A double-bed
And a stalwart lover, for sure
These are the riches of the poor
 
A double-bed
And a stalwart lover, for sure
These are the riches of the poor
 
And I want the one I can't have
And it's driving me mad
It's all over, all over my face
 
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
And somehow that really impressed me
It's written all over my face
 
These are the riches of the poor
These are the riches of the poor
 
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
Just meet me in the alley by the railway-station
It's all over my face
