Automatic Expectation

by Retro Dizzy

1.
There’s a couple at the bottom bar And they’re keeping it together for that great social following He slicks back his hair he wears all black now and He’s the Man you wanna be The Cape Town strangler has gotten us all Just look at the way you talk to me I could be some great messiah but my ego just won’t let me Or will it? Get down Can someone summon up a demon And he can explain to me Why i can’t feel love anymore I dial 666 but that man He don’t answer my fucking calls And on the dustry street with the windows down Baby I’ll make you feel electric There’s no stopping us now cause I’m feeling animalistic So tell me who do you love? Am I the one you’re thinking of outside 45 De Villiers Street I heard you got somebody new to smudge that lipstick And you got a better place to hide He makes you late for social events He kisses your cheek in the car outside But you will still wait for me at the bar while he moves his car And I don’t really give a fuck You said, ‘Vampire King you ain’t nothing like him but I want you more and more than ever now’

So tell me what you want me to be I’ll do anything girl Just to see You And whatever happened to Self Preservation Here I sit at some lonely station Waiting for you There must be Valhalla behind those eyes Angel Michael can you sympathise With the conclusion Offered to me A thousand love songs aimed at you Like crashing planes at low altitude Wishful thinking baby say, ‘I do’ I do You got your eyes on the prize tonight Just tell me you’re ok Shakespearean esque declarations of love I’ll say them slowly And I can feel it when you move Slither around me Constrict my vision you’re all I see

Concord 04:58
Oh where do we go? Radio Moscow, Radio Europe I don’t think you know But answer me when you’re on the bridge Can you see the concord Flying Overhead? Walk me to my car And I’ll walk you to the stars I can see your eyes are red We can’t be very far Can you see the concord Flying Overhead?

I only want you when I want you I only need you when I’m lonely I only want you when I want you I only need you when I’m lonely Now I’m everyone’s baby Tell me girl Do you miss me I know that I can be better I know that I can forget her Oh my Serpent Queen You mean too much to me I must destroy all the evidence Yes Oh no! Not another silique I need that pale pale skin To Destroy me I know that I can be better I know that I can forget her I know I can be better I know she is forever

Lover Boy 03:24
I can see the sweat dripping down your spine (It’s sinking in) Tell me were you ever really mine? All dressed in black and now you’re under attack And those neon lights and black angels won’t send you back to me Lover Boy What happens now? In that dark room say something special now Youre alone with her say something special now Cause you’re the one in black and you’re ready to attack And those neon lights and black angels won’t send you back to her

Sunday 06:24
Sunday morning forever now And without warning you’re coming down And as the light kisses your pale skin I know I can begin again So lets get married in Venice Wear black for me baby It’s so easy To be your slave And as the light kisses your golden hair I wonder what am I doing here
