Handbrake, mistrust, disbelief

Give me the emergency exit key

Bulwer juice bottle and chief

I'm calling this a state of emergency

I never had the chance not to drink

I tell you that I'd given you anything

You gotta love the one that you're with

To come and stop me giving you everything 

Because



My love's for sale

I don't need it anymore

And if I fail, and if I fail

You'll hold my face back from the floor



Heartbreak at the hands of the thief

Is killing me with some kind of urgency

They told me you'd be out in a week

And i'm thinking that i'd owe an apology

Help me, are you feeling this heat?

Yeah, we can lie and join the academy

Go and love the one that you're with

I'm calling this a state of emergency 

Because



My love's for sale

I don't need it anymore

And if I fail, and if I fail

You'll hold my face back from the floor



My love's for sale, my love's for sale

I don't need it anymore

I hope I fail, I hope I fail

You'll hold my face back from the floor



If it's all down hill from here

Then it's all, all down hill from here

If it's all, all, all down, down hill from here

But it's all, all, all down, down hill from here



Handbrake, mistrust, disbelief

At least they'll never get you for vagrancy

Broken down in need of relief 

I've know you long enough won't you dance with me? 

Because



My love's for sale

I don't need it anymore

And if I fail, and if I fail

You'll hold my face back from the floor



My love's for sale, my love's for sale

I don't need it anymore

I hope I fail, I hope I fail

You'll hold my face back from the floor



If it's all down hill from here

Then it's all, all down hill from here
