For girls looking at the big lift
Somebody send out for the night nurse
Please don't stick me on the late shift
If you don't know by now
Nobodys gonna tell you
If you don't know by now
The shock will probably kill you
But if your patience is corrupted and you still cannot decide
Youre sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath
All of this acceleration is driving you to death
Five gears in reverse
You think I don't know what I'm doing
Another fashionable first
Like walking down the road to ruin
But if you're safe and sound
Don't let me interrupt you
And if you're gagged and bound
Well how can I corrupt you
Chorus
Five gears in reverse For girls looking at the big lift Somebody send out for the night nurse Please don't stick me on the late shift If you don't know by now Nobodys gonna tell you If you don't know by now The shock will probably kill you But if your patience is corrupted and you still cannot decide Youre sitting in the garage contemplating suicide And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath All of this acceleration is driving you to death Five gears in reverse You think I don't know what I'm doing Another fashionable first Like walking down the road to ruin But if you're safe and sound Don't let me interrupt you And if you're gagged and bound Well how can I corrupt you Chorus Explain Request ×
