Been alone since you were twenty-one
You haven't laughed since January
You try and make like this is so much fun
But we know it to be quite contrary

La la la la la la la

Dare to be one of us girl
Faced with the android's conundrum
Ah, I felt like I should just cry
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
You're Himmler in your coat you don't know how long I have been
Watching the lantern dim starved of oxygen
So give me your hand and let's jump out the window.
