Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't you hear those cavalry drums?
Hijacking your equilibrium
Midnight snacks in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan
[Verse 2]
Carnivores in the Kowloon night
Breathing freon by the candlelight
Coquettes, bitch slap, you're so polite
Till you thank them for the tea and sympathy
[Chorus]
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man, but I'm
Not afraid to cry
[Verse 3]
Neptune's lips taste like fermented wine
Perfumed blokes on the Ginza line
Running buck-wild like a concubine
Whose mother never held her hand
[Verse 4]
Brief encounters in Mercedes Benz
Wearing hepatitis contact lens
Bed and breakfast, getaway weekends
With Sports Illustrated moms
[Chorus]
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man, but I'm
Not afraid to cry
[Chorus]
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
I'm a full grown man, but I'm
Not afraid to cry
