I'll take you out of the wishin' well
I thinkin' I have a plan
Go with your bad self
Why did you cheat yourself?
You think you're losing
China's not accusing
You never gonna take a hit on the head
Now if you don't care
Take a ride somewhere

Hey you got something
You gotta try and buy our soul
Hey you got something
It goes round and round again
Go, go, you should've never waste your lung
Go, go, and the ride was shared
Go limo, go limo

I got you stuck in the habit trail
You've grown to lovin' this shit
Way out on a back shelf
Yeah you don't know what you've done
Look what you're doin'
Now mama says it's ruined
You've got a mollusk in the palm of your hand
So it's a bad smell
Your eyes wanna win

Hey you got something
You wanna try and buy our soul
Hey you got something
It goes round and round and round again
Go, go, you're never having to waste your lung
Go, go, and the ride was shared
Go, go, whatever happened to Day-Glo Jones?
Go, go, and the ride was shared
Go limo, go limo
