Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Five Gear in Reverse lyrics

Five gears in reverse For girls looking for the big lift Somebody send out for the night nurse Please don't stick me on the late shift If you don't know by now Nobody's gonna tell you If you don't know by now The shock will probably k** you But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath All of this acceleration is driving you to d**h Five gears in reverse You think I don't know what I'm doing Another fashionable first Like walking down the road to ruin But if you're safe and sound Don't let me interrupt you And if you're gagged and bound Well how can I corrupt you But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath All of this acceleration is driving you to d**h
