[Verse 1]
Creases in your white dress
Bruises on your bare skin
Looks like another fine mess
You've got yourself into
What's the matter with you?
Has the cat got your tongue?
Well if you don't like the beat
Then don't play with the drum
[Chorus]
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
No one's ever won
Maxine, case 1-3-5-2
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
[Verse 2]
On a rain-slicked avenue
Long shadows in the night
Take off your spike-heeled shoes
You've got to run for your life
Razor blade in your pocket
From an ex-marine
Makes you speed like a rocket
Ooh it cuts so clean
[Chorus]
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
No one's ever won
Maxine, case 1-3-5-2
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
[Verse 3]
How come you're payin' for borrowed time
Starin' out into space?
Bad boys and cold comfort
And a smacked-up face
[Chorus]
Maxine, you're not the only one
To take the whole world on
No one's ever won
Maxine, case 1-3-5-2
A red and green tattoo
Eyes cold steel blue
[Outro]
Who's that walking, walking behind you?
Who's that talking, talking about you?
Who's that walking, walking with you, Maxine?
Who's that walking, walking behind you?
Who's that talking, talking about you?
Who's that walking, walking with you, Maxine?
