Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know who's getting any
I don't know who's giving
But a, what a pity, such a pretty city
There's no children
[Verse 2]
I don't see them on the runway
They bus them in on Sundays
The visitors are meeting to decide
If you can come stay
[Verse 3]
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
[Verse 4]
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
[Verse 5]
I-I resent the invention
Listen, listen, pay attention
I know the science of the fiction
Of conviction of the henchmen
[Verse 6]
I am here for the masterminds
They told us that you sold us
Oh my, oh my, oh my God
We didn't know you'd get ferocious
[Verse 7]
Oh my, oh my, oh my God
You didn't know I'd get ferocious
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh
[Verse 8]
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
[Verse 9]
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
[Verse 10]
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
[Verse 11]
I chase a stone cold thief with a regular grab
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
[Verse 12]
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
I grow my hair so long to wrap around you
You've been starving for air ever since I found you
[Verse 13]
You had a dalliance with valienc-
Of violence to bow against
Not what I dreamed, not what I dreamt
Not what I mean, not how I meant
[Verse 14]
We ate like birds, seeds and things
Hunting only for seasoning
[Verse 15]
I planned on no problem to punctuate my stay
Now I, perch above you, meticulous bird of prey
Now I, perch above you, meticulous bird of prey
[Verse 16]
Why deny? Why, why deny?
Why deny? Why, why deny?
[Verse 17]
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
I find the scene of the crime, I take my body back
[Verse 18]
(I take my body back, I take my body back)
Why deny? Why, why deny?
(I take my body back, I take my body back)
Why deny? Why, why deny?
[Verse 19]
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you
You've been starving for air ever since I found you
Grow my hair so long to wrap around you, grow my hair so long to wrap around you
