The Wombats – Your Body Is A Weapon lyrics

Sometimes I like to go uptown
Where flashy people flash around
It's extortionate and I don't care
You can taste the pretense in the air
And I wonder what you'll wear tonight
The shiny black dress with the slit at the thigh
Is it a fantasy that I should think
Someone like you could love a creep like me?

Your body is a weapon love
And it makes me wanna cry
My body is a temple of doom,
Doomed not to be by your side

I like my job when I do it well
It's freelance work and it pays like hell,
But I can get us a place with one bedroom
Who needs a friend, when I've got you?

Your body is a weapon love
And it makes me wanna cry
My body is a temple of doom,
Doomed not to be by your side.

I do not come here for the exclusivity,
I just come here for the view!
And the minuscule chance of some
Close proximity or an awkward conversation with you
Yeah that'd be cool.

Your body is A weapon love
And it rips me up inside
My body is A temple of doom,
Doomed not to be, doomed not to be by your side!

Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one-eyed one I love.
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one-eyed one I love.

Someone protect me from the one I love
Someone protect me from the one I love
From the one-eyed one I love.
