      lyrics

    Look What It Did To My Id

    Like a virgin, with an urgin, in a surgery
    I'll be swinging, I'll be bringing out the nurse in me.
    The art will start when I play my part
    As a healer who will steal your heart
    Oh look what I did to my ID.
    Oh look what I did to my ID.
    With neurosis in perfusion
    And psychosis in your soul
    Eliminate confusion
    And hide inside a brand new role!
    Like a good time girl I'm gonna try some new tricks
    This could be the start of a whole new career
    Got a deep plum lipstick and some t
    herapeutics
    This could take us to a town that's nowhere near here.
    Got some heartfelt symptoms and I'm feeling sneaky
    Young male intern tall and handsome
    Got my hems so high they'll think I'm being cheeky.
    Legs like mine were really made for dancing
    Oh oh oh! Hey hey hey!
    When heavens in the music
    Hell is in control.
    The angel's got the voices
    But the Devil's got rock and roll!
    We may look we're phony medics
    But we took our look from a book by Frederick's
    Oh look
    what I did to my ID - ID!.
