In the dark
In the company of strangers
It's our job
To chew the corners of the stage
While you hug the edges of the room
Don't cross the desert
Don't cross the desert
Stay away, stay away
Otherwise you might enjoy yourself
Later on
Beauty and all her friends
Make it clear
That you shouldn't interfere
But you're suppose to try and try and try
And fail
Don't cross the desert
Don't cross the desert
Stay away, stay away
Otherwise you might enjoy yourself
Disengage, disengage
This can only end in tears
Stay away, stay away
Remember love is pain
I'm never drinking again
Alcohol opens possibilities
Now it's mutton and lamb
On a level playing field
A witty and charming specimen of man
Don't cross the desert
Don't cross the desert
Stay away, stay away
Otherwise you might enjoy yourself (enjoy yourself)
Don't cross the desert
Don't cross the desert
Stay away, stay away
Otherwise you might enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself.
I'm never drinking again.
