She'll take a slowcar to China

She'll pay the rent for the use of you

She'll take a slowcar to China

She'll pay the rent for the use of you tonight

We are not afraid to love

But no new ideas

You almost get used to

Such things you know

The mechanic's on the phone again

We break down

The others you'd remember

If I could spare some time

In love with this elegant bitch

And here am I just a shy young fool

In love with this elegant bitch

She only sparkles at times

For you tonight

She forgets that we know

She forgets who we are

I suppose the things I overheard

Were quite by chance

The only story I ever knew or cared for

Best left unheard I suppose, don't you?

You look for somewhere to start to look

We'll take a slowcar to China

Everything that you need is here

We'll take a slowcar to China

Everything that you need is here tonight

I forgot not to call

And now we're out of love

She'll take a slowcar to China

A little green worm inside my head

She'll take a slowcar to China

A little green worm inside my head tonight

Just pretend it's for real

You will pay like before

Just pretend it was me

You will pay Mr. Jones

There's nothing much to keep us alive but 'Dance'

All that she can say is 'Goodbye'

All things change, I suppose

We'll sing without voice, without heart

And leave no address

I will never ever see you again, I know

Don't take a slowcar to China

We did, we did

She needed nothing and no-one, so

Don't take a slowcar to China

She needed nothing and no-one here tonight

You will pay like before

Always one step behind

You will pay Mr. Jones

Always one step away

There's no-one here to leave you behind

But me
