[Verse 1]
In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I'd like to think so
[Verse 2]
Standards of living
They're rising daily
But home, oh sweet home
It's only a saying
[Verse 3]
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
[Verse 4]
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on?
What to do there?
Better pray there
[Verse 5]
Open plan living
Bungalow, ranch style
All of it's comforts
Seem so essential
[Verse 6]
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
[Verse 7]
You float in my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
[Verse 8]
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
[Verse 9]
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind
[Outro]
Oh those heartaches
Dream home heartaches
