Can't you hear those cavalry drums 
Hijacking your equilibrium 
Midnight hags in the mausoleum 
Where the pixilated doctors moan 
Carnivores in the Kowloon night 
Breathing freon by the candlelight 
Coquettes bitch slap you so polite 
Till you thank them 
For the tea and sympathy

I want to defy 
The logic of all sex laws 
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists 
I'll let you be my chaperone 
At the halfway home 
I'm a full grown man 
But I'm not afraid to cry

Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine 
Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line 
Running buck wild like a concubine 
Who's mother never held her hand 
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz 
Wearing hepatitis contact lens 
Bed and breakfast getaway weekends 
With Sports Illustrated moms

I want to defy 
The logic of all sex laws 
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists 
I'll let you be my chaperone 
At the halfway home 
I'm a full grown man 
But I'm not afraid to cry
