[Verse 1]
The way you are now
You're never gonna make the bus
Even though
Everybody's so impressed
You've got "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" under your pillow
O-oh-oh!
[Interlude]
I saw you spit on London just like you were a Peter Pan
[Verse 2]
The way you are now
You're never gonna make it in my kitchen
Still
Everybody's so excited
Last I was here I was convinced I was your favorite warrior
O-oh-oh!
[Chorus]
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
[Bridge]
You wanted me just for a holiday
Or was it to pad your resume?
What do you give me but unwanted breakthroughs
Strange how certain details subvert everything
[Chorus]
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't really want to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
[Verse 4]
OMG! WTT!
Aww girl, we been through hell about it!
Then I see our friends and
Everybody's so excited!
I'm standing over you eating juicy fruits till it gets in your eye!
Yeah! O-oh-oh!
[Chorus]
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't want to really get to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't really want to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off the mind
Don't really want to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
[Outro]
I've got a terrible fixation
Can't get it off my mind
Don't really want to know it better
Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy
