Revision as of 15:01, 15 July 2014
Everything seems so tranquil
Home movies with no subtitles
Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin'
When the film keeps playin', playin'?
Oh, he's Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
Some say he is just a lackey
Changing words while the ink is still tacky
He's absolutely indispensable
He keeps the other boys in suspense
Oh, he's Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
Luther is locked in a broken-down cinema
Watches his wife with his video camera
Sees his best boy makin' her grin
Out of the kitchen, she's gone with the wind
Oh, Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Dr. Luther's assistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
