Star-studded dream maker
Psychedelic heart breaker
Isn't life a drag
You lock me up like a porno mag
Girl you need to be chilled on ice
So i don't get burnt twice
Let this be an anniversary
Of the simple things, that keep seducing me
I love her, love her madly
But she treats me oh so badly
Leaves me in bandages, leaves me in bandages
The walls on my inner self
Are the shadows of someone else
Ive got the new disease
Thats plagued by my jelousy
Move your feet to the beat of my drum
Keep dancing til you had enough
Let this be an anniversary
Of the simple things, that keep seducing me
I love her, love her madly
But she treats me oh so badly
Leaves me in bandages, leaves me in bandages
I wear you like a sweet sunburn
I can't get no apologies
I wear you like a sweet sunburn
