Soft Cell - Mr. Self Destruct lyrics

Always the dreamer But never the dead You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head Anyone in your way Was a spike in your side With one hand in the wallet You took them for the ride Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack You should have seen you when you were 18 You were the toughest little f... I've ever seen And with each downfall you turned 10 foot tall The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again Looking for blame And you know that he'll diagnose pain again Yeah pain again Narrow the sorrow Sick of the slick Of the doors of discovery you had you pick If they hit on you Then you hit right back Never keeping their cool It was up and attack Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Whoa you're feeling so torrid today Life has gone wild No one blocks out the way You even look good - so they say A new lease of life flowed through your body today (not that looks are all to go by - but anyway) Shooting the A, Shooting the A, Shooting the A The stuff is free And you can now go to town Building your life up and smashing it down Building your life up and smashing it down You couldn't escape from this fact of life That existing makes you a mess But every decision or feeling or reason Causes some sort of mental distress Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Hey hey You couldn't escape from this fact of life That existing makes you a mess But every decision or feeling or reason Causes some sort of mental distress Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Hey Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down
