Hey boys, it's a steal
You're hanging on by your fingernails
As usual, the king is dead
Long live the queens!

Hey girls, no big deal
Your fifteen minutes
Start right here, so baby let's go
Let's go

I'm watching the world
Taking my time
I've waited my turn
I'm gonna shine

Heroes take their toll
Hog your dreams
Then crush your soul
And take you out, out to dinner

Roll on the original
Highly strung out
Spaced-out, individual
I'm a terminal sinner

I'm watching the world
I'm taking my time
I've waited my turn
Now I'm gonna shine

And all the pretty people
That I used to see
Have died or moved away
Or they're in recovery

And all the buildings
Where the faithless used to play
Have crumbled into clay
And I don't know what to say; (ahh-ahh)
I just don't know what to say... (ahh-ahh)
I don't know what to say
(ahh, ahh; ahh, ahh, ah-oh ....)

[Guitar solo and instrumentation]

I'm watching the world
I'm taking my time (I can drive)
I'm waiting my turn
I'm gonna shine

I declare my innocence
I'm worth more than 60 pence
Look, I've got a shiny car
I can drive, I can drive

Yes, baby, I'm for real
That's just the way I feel
I can take you anywhere
Anytime, any time

Everything I pass is old
Everything I touch is gold
Now I see the world unfold
I can drive, I can drive

Yes, baby, it's a steal
Nothing that you see is real
Get yourself a pair of heels
Get to drive, go and drive

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
