American Jet Set lyrics

i must get away

yeah, i just can't stay right now

i think i can say when other stars go in sane, and how

everybody's stuck in 1981 and they suck
everybody thinks that they could live and learn

but they don't

what's the worse thing that could happen?

you've got to take the chance

everyone will tell you not to

but no one understands

silly little charmer

Oh there he goes again
High like a zeppelin
Big eyes and underfed
She took him by the throat and said

"I(I) love(love) you(you), sick(what) boy(yeah)!
I(I) love(love) you(you), sick(what) boy(yeah)!" Yeeeeaaaahhhh!

His heart gets what it needs
From shooting antifreeze
Laid out beside the bed
She took him by the throat and said

before the sun went down
and before he knew what's going on
a kiss storm like a meteor shower

her lips got hyperactive
so hold her down
so hold her down
so hold her down
and hold her now

after the chandeliers went out
in the big grand hotel downtown
on her wrist like a beautiful flower

your lips are hyperactive
so hold on now
so hold on now
so hold on now
and hold her down

have to try just to inhale

have to try just to inhale

i think i may just pass out

it's so breathtaking

so hurry and kiss me

my blood stream is crystalline

inhale, exhale, pass out, wake up, repeat

inhale, exhale, pass out, wake up, repeat

inhale, exhale...

she said it's so breathtaking

so hurry and kiss me

my bloodstream is crystalline

don't die wondering

american jet set

so young and cinemantic

just start the car and lets go

american jet set
we need our blood stirred, dammit

get off the floor and lets go

like plastic figurines

lay in the back and blast the tape machine

it's all that he wants

it's all that he wants

and all that he wants

is all that he wants

and all that he wants

is a minute with her

Standing here in the ballroom as the dancers twirling
Everything to the marching drums
And lying here in your yard alone as all the old war pilots have done
Oh this little bird heart got so cracked

I can't sleep deep tonight
Oh no I can't for sure
I can't sleep deep tonight

Yeah better eject
Oh as we are
Nerve gas over us
Just leave that nerve gas on

When you haven't got any sense
And a sick ghastly pallor "Well the poor kid never had a chance"
And people heard that you're dead
But you haven't, you haven't left the city yet

*CHORUS*

Oh, get famous!
Even if it takes every white blood cell you ever, ever have

And when you haven't got any friends
And the pharmacist recommends a B-complex for this condition

a new medicine

electrical oh oh

a new medicine

big shock yeah

sick boy

walks in a void ask anyone

sick boy

said I just want to live

gotta get my head all fixed

a new medicine

electrical oh oh

a new medicine

big shock yeah

a new medicine

shaking on your floor

I just decided

I just decided (I want to)

sick boy

said it's all the rage

tell everyone

arrow kid runs by

catch one in your side

is this the end?
we should die

let us go

life is all a film

let the bullets fly

truth, lies, a film

it's like little bees

let them sting

he believes in time machines

he believes in time machines

he believes in time machines

he believes in time machines

he believes in time machines

he believes in time machines
