Don’t Kiss Me, I’m Running Out of Lipstick

[Sandra]
Come-ons are permanent

[Jack]
Good-byes ain't

[Sandra]
Crisis of the heart

[Jack&Sandra]
Lives of the saint

[Sandra]

Is this how you say hello?

[Jack]
Is this the way it's gonna go?

[Sandra]
Is that all?

[Jack]
Sitting around, sharpening your claws?

[Chorus, Jack&Sandra]
Like the philosopher said
She said "damn them every day"
You want to say no?
Then damn them all at night and we go
And everybody does what she says
Don't be shocked, it was not luck
It's what we always did
It's what one always does

[Jack]
I don't think there's an answer to my question
We just keep and carry this lifetime ache

[Sandra]
Do people live like this?
It's made me entirely, and I know it's all my fault

[Chorus, Jack&Sandra]
It was like the philosopher said
She said "damn them every day"
You want to say no?
Then damn them all at night and we go
And everybody does what she says
Don't be shocked, it was not luck
It's what we always did
It's what one always does

[Bridge]

[Jack]
We spin and we spin
I'd rather have your hands around my throat than waving me goodbye
Don't trust me when I call you Jack
If I smile, don't turn your back
Close to the bone, hot on the skin

[Chorus, Jack&Sandra]
Like the philosopher said
She said "damn them every day"
You want to say no?
Then damn them all at night and we go
And everybody does what she says
Don't be shocked, it was not luck
It's what we always did
It's what one always does

Don't kiss me, I'm running out of lipstick
She said
Don't kiss me, I'm running out of lipstick
She said
Don't kiss me, I'm running out of lipstick
She said
Don't kiss me, I'm running out of, I'm running out of, I'm running out of, I'm running out of
