I know I've just gotta get out of this place

I can't stand any more of that mechanical grace

Though you say it's only an industrial squeeze

It looks like a luxury and feels like a disease


Chorus:

Oh give it to me, give it to me

I don't want to know much about much

Give it to me, give it to me

I need, I need, I need the human touch


Left with just a house to hold, drinking your way to drydock

It's easy to break up a model citizen, living in the state of shock

I just can't believe I am responsible for this

What the makeup hides can't be made up with a kiss


(Chorus)


When I'm talking in tongues I go where you lead

I don't make you plead, oh I need you


How I'd like to fix her in a picture of rage

How I'd like to catch her when she's acting her age

But when she's laying stretched out on the floor

It's no mystery to me anymore


(Chorus)
