They close your eyes, and the doctor says it's too late You wonder why your life passes before you In the dark, you slip into a coma You crash the car, you've gone too far Policemen flash, they want credentials You go too fast, but you're not careful So you drive back home, in confusion, alone She's a man, but when you get down to it She says "Sure you can", you'll make love to her She says "My place or yours?", drinks are poured They'll keep you dance forever, so you dance together To make a move now seems essential Someone stares at you; the propagator has potential To replace the other who just rediscovered her mother 'Cause you think you might need a lover
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered The way that one thing can lead to another And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah It can lead to another
What's going on tonight? You think you might discover So you pour a drink, and start to think about another You get the sack when you turn up late You think: Get this pressure off my back With the deadlines missed, your boss gets pissed You fail your test, you're so depressed And the job begins to suffer And the job begins to suffer
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered The way that one thing can lead to another And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah One thing leads to another, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah It can lead to another
And the job begins to suffer for the love you have lost 'Cause you care such a lot about the job you've got You couldn't care less, you're in such a mess And life's tougher And you're feeling older; perhaps it's colder with her mother
