LYRICS

1st VERSE

Two black lines streaming out of a guidance line
Put one foot on the road now where the cyborgs are driving
with the WD-40 (in their veins) 
The screachin little breaks complain

With the briefcase empty and holes in my shoes
I try to stay friendly for the sugary abuse
So tell my secretary now to hold on to my calls
I believe i can hear through these walls


Chorus
Oh please save me, save me from myself 
I cant be the only one stuck on the shelf
You said you'd always fall for the underdog
Oooooooooooh

2nd Verse

Well i've been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust
A thirty seven thousand fool of wonderlust and
With skyline number 9 ticked off in my mind
Oh can't you hear me screaming out now through the telephone line

Chorus

Oh please save me, save me from myself
I cant be the only one stuck on the shelf
you said you'd always fall for the underdog
Oooooooooooh
(repeat to fade)
