One, two, a-one, two, three, four!
She got a Persian rug outside her door
She got a closet full of furs she's never worn
Oh, and everywhere she moves She leaves a curse
She said 'pity the plumage, baby, not the dying bird'
Hey, you tell 'em now
Something's ticking in Biba's basement
(Something's ticking)
Now she need a replacement
(Something's ticking)
For all the pretty summer clothes
They're all going up in smoke, whoo!
There was a demolition man in Stokey Town
He said the first of May is the name We're moving uptown
Well, I saw the line of little boxes on the floor, oh
So I gave him a hand 'cause he reminded of old Guy Fawkes
And he was a framer
Something's ticking in Biba's basement
(Something's ticking)
Now's she's into litigation
(Something's ticking)
Everything she ever own
It's all going up in smoke
Whoo, yeah, wow
But like all those things, you know it had to end
And that demolition man
Well, he was chained from foot to head
(Everywhere she moves she leaves a curse)
Whoa, I can sympathize
With this kind of Antichrist
(Everywhere she moves she leaves a curse)
Oh, my, my, but one man sins
And then we all get crucified
Oh, no, no, no
Something's ticking in Maggie's basement
(Something's ticking)
Now she'll need a replacement
(Something's ticking)
Everything she ever owned
It's all going up in smoke
Whoo, yeah!
Oh...
