Elvis Costello Chemistry Class Lyrics

Chemistry Class Lyrics

She throws back her hair [hands] and she shows you her mouth
The breath that I waste trying to ruin your life
Beauty`s on a budget but you take it on the chin
`Cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

You`ve got a chemistry class I want a piece of your mind
You don`t know what you started when you mixed it up with mine
Are you ready for the final solution? Oh. Oh.

[They] chopped you up in butcher`s school
Threw you out of the academy of garbage
You`ll be a joker all your life
A student at the comedy college
People pleasing people pleasing people like you
You`ve been around so long but you still don`t know what to do

(Chorus)

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons
Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons
Ready to experiment, you`re ready to be burned
If it wasn`t for some accidents then some would never ever learn

(Chorus)
