I take too long to answer telephones I take too long to type my name and record messages But my handwriting is excellent In fact it's second to none, none
I just got in from somewhere really good They offered me the part of Bono And a speaking role With all the merchandice and sunglasses I could ever need, need
I drive round cities in a chariot I get prefential treatment at the Marriot But if the truth be told I'm naked under all these clothes
I tell you what it is on my mind I only want to be in your record collection I only want to be in your record collection And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
My brain is buzzing and the room is strange Like that scene in a trading places at the stock exchange I made a million over night in '87 Now I'm living in my parking space, parking space
My teeth are bright and my hair is clean I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen But in the rain we all look wet and in the snow we all look cold
I tell you what it is on my mind I only want to be in your record collection I only want to be in your record collection And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
Discusted by all the flashness I think I'm a don They think I'm an actor but I catch this My two needs are a pillow and a matress Once I can fill up the space with a famous actress Give me a mil, I'll do a DJ set I pull spickey green like a cactus Show off, egos high you can't match this Chauvinastic pig money mans tactics
I'm not as clever as I thought I was It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot And all I want to know is how I got so far down, down
I'm not as lucky as I thought I was My luck ran out they other day as I was crossing the road Who would have thought a truck like that Could have caused so much...
I tell you what it is on my mind I only want to be in your record collection I only want to be in your record collection And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
