lyrics

I made the leap into the big time
I blaze above it
I live a life without the edges on it
Everything is merging into everything else
It's like the girls in purple lipstick
Come up to you in the street
Smile their tormented smiles and say "hi"

They say "hey"
They say "hi"
They say "hey"

But that's all on the surface
and there's nothing underneath
That's all on the surface
there must be something underneath

All of these cheekbones collapsing round about me
All of these haircuts that fill up the void
Everybody loves the skin that leaves not a trace
Of the injections directly into the face

Say "hi"
Say "hey"
Say "hi"
Say "hey"

But that's all on the surface
and there's nothing underneath
That's all on the surface
there must be something underneath

Women behaving like bowls of fruit
Floating on the ether
Men behaving like butcher's meat
Hanging in the window
If you were hoping for something more
If you were waiting for the knock on the door that says...

I made the leap into the big time etc.....
