I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
I know you but do you know me
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
I got a brain the size of a planet and they have me parking cars
I´m cruising through this galaxy for some money in my tip jar
Artificial intelligence sex dolls and self-driving cars
I need a better option than stumbling home from the bars
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
I know you but do you know me
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
They´ve got you in Fort Meade, Maryland, they´ve got you in Moscow too
Wiretapping, monitoring, listening, they´ve got everything on you
All I hear is karaoke, controlled by a guy with a tattoo back sleeve
He´s head of all operations – and me, I just wanna leave
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
I know you but do you know me
I´m your plastic pal, I´m your plastic pal
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with
I know you but do you know me
I´m your plastic pal who´s fun to be with

If love should call
05:38

Here you come riding high on rumours
With a white flag in your hand
Hand me down dress, divine demeanour
A sparrow falling with every grain of sand
// Don´t take anything for granted if love should call
Hey, put that in writing upon your bedroom wall //
You say life is like a circus
Well here you are, there´s the ring
Do you comply with the terms of service
You fly like a butterfly, but how do you sting?
// Don´t take anything for granted if love should call
Hey, put that in writing upon your bedroom wall //
Something´s calling you to ringside
In the morning when you awake
15th round, you´d better shape up
Put on your boxing gloves and fire away
// Don´t take anything for granted if love should call
Hey, put that in writing upon your bedroom wall //

Hangin´ in the Louvre

We´re hangin´ in the Louvre, it´s a quarter to five
And my nerves are on their toes
It is September 1981
Should I stay I stay or shoud I go
It could be so easy, free and fine
I can hear my poor heart crying
It´s not enough if it´s not all or nothing
Mona Lisa, what´s with your smile?
Show me what´s there but can´t be seen
Venus de Milo, maybe you have a clue
Give me your right hand, I beg you please
It could be so easy, free and fine
I can hear my poor heart crying
It´s not enough if it´s not all or nothing
Brussels, Belgium, René Magritte
A million men in bowlers hit the sky
This is not a pipe dream, black is white
This is the truth that makes the fools go wise
It could be so easy, free and fine
I can hear my poor heart crying
It´s not enough if it´s not all or nothing
If it´s not all or nothing
If it´s not all or nothing
It´s not enough if it´s not all or nothing

More than an icon

More than an icon, you know you could be
More than an image of sin-cursed suffering and grief
You know you could be the rebel of all times
You´d have all the haters and deniers down on their knees
// Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon
Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon
Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon, more than an icon //
Like Elvis you left the building, you just took your cross and split
This planet wasn´t big enough for you
Palm branches at your feet, the future already writ
A classic case of too much too soon
// Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon
Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon
Oh you could be, you could be
More than an icon, more than an icon //
