You got sweethearts, you got pressures You’ve got starlight, and pretty wishes You got sisters who sing on the radio And vessels to possess on the radio Your sex is a sickness, yeh your sex is a sickness
And you got time, yeh you got time to lose Because you’ll never take enough of those pills You know you’re too clever to be mentally ill You’ll never fashion your damaged soul Because you’re too clever to lose control
You got doctors and you got stitches You got lovers and you’ve got well wishers You got vapid love in a couplette 2000 words and a side bar Your sickness is your shibboleth, your sex is a sickness
And you got time, yeh you got time to lose Because you’ll never take enough of those pills You know you’re too clever to be mentally ill You’ll never fashion your damaged soul Because you’re too clever to lose control
