Be in my video,

Darling, every night

I will rent a cage for you

And mi-j-i-nits dressed in white

(teeny-little-tiny-little...)



Twirl around in a lap dissolve

Pretend to sing the words

I'll rent a gleaming limousine;

Release a flock of Ber-herna-herna-herna

Herna-her-nerds






Wear a leather collar

And a dagger in your ear

(Stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' at you-ou-ou-ou-ou)

I will make you smell the glove

And try to look sincere, then we'll



Dance the blues (Oh yes)

Let's dance the blues (We'll dance the blues)

Let's dance the blues (We'll dance them very much)

Under the megawatt moonlight



Pretend to be Chinese,

(One-hung-low)

I'll make you wear red shoes

There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion

All the big groups use



Atomic light will shine

Through an old venetian blind

Making patterens on your face,

Then it cuts to outer space



With its billions & billions &

Billions & billions and



Be in my video

Darling, every night

Everyone in cable-land

Will say you're 'outta-sight'



You can show your legs

While you're getting in the car, then

I will look repulsive

While I mangle my guitar



Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon

Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,

Moo-ahhhh



Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon

Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,

Moo-ahhhh



Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon

Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,

Moo-ahhhh



Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,

Moo-ahhhh

Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,

Moo-ahhhh-wah-wah-wah!



After all the closeup shots of you

In bondage leather

They'll spray an alley with a hose

And we'll escape together



Then we'll dance the blues again (Oh yes, we'll dance the blues)

Let's dance the blues again (Sure we will)

Let's dance the blues again (We'll dance them blues)

In the middle of an alley



Let's dance your face (Let's dance your face)

Let's dance your lips (And dance your lips)

Let's dance your nose (We'll dance your nose)

And then we'll dance your sinus!



Wooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooo!
