Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're not alive until you start kicking
When the room is spinning and the words aren't sticking
And the radio's all about a runaway model
With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel
[Verse 2]
Saying, sister, sister! How I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist-to-wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rock star, pornstar, superstar
Doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car and get out of here
[Verse 3]
Well, about the boys in the better land
You're always talking about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
About the boys in the better land
You're always talking about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
[Verse 4]
Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
He spits out "Brits out!", only smokes Carrolls
And he's refreshing the world in mind, body and spirit
Mind, body and spirit
You better hear it and fear it
Ah, that's the spirit!
[Verse 5]
Saying, sister, sister! How I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist-to-wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rock star, pornstar, superstar
Doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car and get out of here
[Verse 6]
Yeah, about the boys in the better land
You're always talking about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
About the boys in the better land
You're always talking about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
[Verse 7]
Driver's got names to fill two double barrels
He spits out "Brits out!", only smokes Carrolls
And he's refreshing the world in mind, body and spirit
Mind, body and spirit
You better hear it and fear it
Ah, that's the spirit!
[Verse 8]
Saying, sister, sister! How I missed ya, missed ya
Let's go wrist-to-wrist and take the skin off of my blister
If you're a rock star, pornstar, superstar
Doesn't matter what you are
Get yourself a good car and get out of here
[Verse 9]
Yeah, about the boys in the better land
You're always talking about the boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
About the boys in the better land
You're always talking about those boys in the better land
The boys in the better land
