Lyrics
[part 1: the dirty old man] She's not a girl who misses much Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust [part 2: the junkie] I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix 'cause I'm going down [part 3] Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun [part 4: 50s Doo-Wop] Happiness is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot) Happiness is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot) When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun
