Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain

Inside every young pair of pants there's a mountain

I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself
            Bm                  F#                    E
I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased with myself

Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home

Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon
        Bm                  E                    A                F#m
Well, I ain't gonna suck no radar wing because inside this tin is tin

It's a matter of life and the way you walk, you've got a Brylcream queen
                 Bm          F#                              G
It's a matter of tact in the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
            Bm          F#                     E
A matter of fact that a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen

So I'll pretend I'm walking home

You don't have to scream a lot to predict monsoons
Bm                         E             A                  F#m
You don't have to paint my contact black now I've hustled a pair of jeans
