Sexx Laws lyrics
by Johnny Marr
[Verse 1]
Can't you hear those cavalry drums
Hijacking your equilibrium?
Midnight snacks in the mausoleum
Where the pixilated doctors moan
Carnivores in the Kowloon night
Breathing Freon by the candlelight
Coquettes b*tch slap you so polite
'Til you thank them for the tea and sympathy (Ogh-ah)
[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 2]
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
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
[Instrumental Interlude]
[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
