Teenage kicks, with messy kids A lot of love, and shrugs, a local insurrection And what it was, is what it is I have to smile when she offers me protection It's all fun until the ashtray's full You call the man, but the man won't come at all Here comes the fall And it's all good until the birds start chirping The strangers leave, and the drugs stop working It's all good until the dawn prevails and what was in the mail Is at your door again And you're alone again We feel good, but then we should Because we pay, to feel, to feel like we're perfection A cheeky half, a proper laugh, and it goes dark And I dance with my reflection It's all fun until the Sun comes up You call the man but he won't wake up at all Sunday morning call And it's all good until the birds start chirping The strangers leave, and the drugs stop working It's all good until the dawn prevails and what was in the mail Is at your door again The look of lust becomes a beast of burden You're paranoid and peeking through the curtains It's way too late now to go to bed, you're in your head And on your own again You're on your own again Na, na, na, na, na And it's all fun until the birds start chirping (Birds start chirping) The strangers leave and the drugs stop working (Drugs stop working) It's all good until the dawn prevails and what was in the mail Is at your door again The look of lust becomes a beast of burden (Beast of burden) You're paranoid and peeking through the curtain (Through the curtain) It's way too late now to go to bed, you're in your head And on your own again You're all alone again
