Fair Exchange Lyrics

Here we come in a cloud, stars in our eyes,
Standing up proud, it's a perfect disguise,
We've got so much to give, so much to gain,
Just give me your money and I'll give you my pain,
It's a fair exchange...(fair exchange)
Now Tia Maria, she leans on the wall,
Looks in the mirror and pukes on the floor,
Tries to remember the cause of it all...
He just gave her a drink and she gave him a ball,
It's a fair exchange...
But I expect you expect a lot from me,
I can feel your burning need...
Your greedy, seedy
fantasies are guaranteed to make my young heart bleed
For you and your pubescent blues, yes,
You and your dancing shoes,
You...and your sad glad news,
About your boyfriend Stan...
He's a dirty flirty man...
And he'll get you if he can... Here I stand in a daze, axe in my hand,
Another fool on the stage with a travelling band,
There's a space in my heart...permanent flame,
Just give me your body and I'll give you my brain,
It's a fair exchange...
Now Venus-De-Milo, a statue of note,
She lays in the gutter
With a knife in her throat...naked as sin,
No, not even a coat,
She gave you a thrill so you gave her a grope,
It's a fair exchange...
Still, I expect you expect a lot from me,
I know you all...
The show goes on despite the wrong,
The strong still rise
And the weak still fall,
This song is up to you, all along,
You never knew,
This song is coming on through to take you for a ride,
It's tested, true and tried...
Even though it almost lied...
