Lyrics:

Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la

Do run-run, you won't get far

I'm machine, obsolete

The land of the free lobotomy

I wanna suck, I wanna lick

I wanna cry and I wanna spit

Tears of pleasure, tears of pain

They trickle down your face the same

It's how you look, not how you feel

A city of glass with no heart

If I had a tail, I'd own the night

If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies

Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la-la

Do run-run, you won't get far

Animals in the midnight zone

When you own the world, you're always home

Get your hands dirty, roll up them sleeves

Brainwashed or true believers

Buy flash cars, diamond rings

Expensive holes to bury things

I'm machine, I'm obsolete

In the land of the free immortality

If I had a tail, I'd own the night

If I had a tail, I'd swat the flies

See me dancing on the scars

See me dancing
