[Verse 1]
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame, she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap
[Chorus]
And I don't know about you (oh, oh)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
It's been a hell of a do (oh)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
[Verse 2]
The peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies, they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea (have some shugary tea)
In a chemical world, in a chemical world
It's very, very, very cheap (very, very, very cheap)
[Chorus]
And I don't know about you (oh, oh)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
It's been a hell of a do (oh, been hell of a do)
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes, yes (oh)
[Instrumental]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
It's been a hell of a do (it's been a hell of a do)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
And now she's right out of view
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
[Outro]
Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame, she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap
[Chorus]
And I don't know about you (oh, oh)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)
It's been a hell of a do (oh)
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes (oh)

Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
Until you can see right through (until you can't see right through)
