F
Alcoholic kind of mood
                          A#
Lose my clothes, lose my lube
Cruising for a piece of fun
                       F
Looking out for number one
Different partner every night
                   A#
So narcotic outta sight
What a gas, what a beautiful ass

Chorus:
       F
And it all breaks down at the role reversal
         C
Got the muse in my head she's universal
  B                                 A#
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me
       F
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal
         C
Got the muse in my head she's universal
  B                                 A#
Spinnin' me round she's coming over me

Kind of buzz that lasts for days
Had some help from insect ways
Comes across all shy and coy
Just another Nancy Boy
Woman man or modern Monkey
Just another happy junkie
Fifty pounds press my button going down

Chorus

Does his makeup in his room
Douse himself with cheap perfume
Eyeholes in a paper bag
Greatest lay I ever had
Kind of guy who mates for life
Gotta help him find a wife
We're a couple
When our bodies double

Chorus - x2
