lyrics

Lights low, zoom in real slow
I think we all know
That he ain’t here to fix the shower
Small talk, bossa in the background
Sweat under the nightgown
To solve this case don’t need Jack Bauer
Clichés
They don’t really matter when
Deep down, we only want to see one thing
There’s someone at the door
Ring ring ring
I’ve seen that face before

Ripped clothes
Let’s dispense with niceties
Real soon
I’m gonna be down on my knees
And that’s when
You’ll be calling out my name
One more for the frame
I know, we don’t need no script for this
Mapped out, every angle, every kiss
Screenplay, I’ve never read one quite so lame
One more for the frame

Skip scene
The sofa’s still clean
The plumber’s still keen
But he ain’t here to fix the pipes
Voyeur, looming in the background
Getting off on each sound
Just the thing the couple likes
Clichés
They don’t really matter when
Deep down, we only want to see one thing
There’s someone at the door
Ring ring ring
I’ve seen that face before

Ripped clothes
Let’s dispense with niceties
Real soon
I’m gonna be down on my knees
And that’s when
You’ll be calling out my name
One more for the frame
I know, we don’t need no script for this
Mapped out, every angle, every kiss
Screenplay, I’ve never read one quite so lame
One more for the frame
