Five gears in reverse For girls looking for the big lift Somebody send out for the night nurse Please don't stick me on the late shift If you don't know by now Nobody's gonna tell you If you don't know by now The shock'll probably kill you But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide You have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath All of this acceleration is driving you to death Five gears in reverse You say I don't know what I'm doing Another fashionable first Like walking down the road to ruin But if you're safe and sound Don't let me interrupt you And if you're gagged and bound Well, how can I corrupt you? But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide You have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath All this acceleration is driving you to death Five gears in reverse Two statues of liberty But as we go from bad to worse You say you're trying to get rid of me And now you feel run down Between insults and flattery You'll find yourself in pieces Wherever they may scatter me But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide But you have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath All of this acceleration is driving you to death Ow!
