Now you're talking in headlines

Up to the minute and free

Stop press, hold the front page

Up as a mirror

Are you reading me'

Watch you walking in waltz time

A jigsaw puzzle in tune

Or are you faking a straight line

To suit yourself too soon

Rather nouveau than never

Contemporary ideal

Some natural kind of poet might slow it

But she sells more my speed

She sells country and modern

Ancient western song

Of oriental confusion

You so right, me so wrong

Now you're fixing to fly me-

Auto-erotic, please,

On the break that you're gliding.

Your lingerie's a gift-wrap

Slip it to me

Nine till five

The daily grind

Made-up lies

Make up my mind

Same machine consuming you

Consuming you

Oh why

She sells

I need

Oh why love why

She sells

I need.
