Running On Batteries

you came along with a new suggestion
and it involved give and take while we align
now i'm suffering day and night

come on, appeal to my better nature
it's just conceivable that i'll come around
to the remedy that you've found

so you're leaving now to try and beg or borrow
a device to help us
stop this river's ebb, this river's flow

it's that time of the century
and already decidedly unbelievable
we're facing hours of pleasure
while we're running on batteries
let's agree to be faithful please
it's acceptable, and like we're both 15 again

i'd like to peek at your silver service
and see the things that
you never thought i'd like to see on a friday night

so keep me warm, keep me clear of danger
you be the mother and i'll be the child
though it's a game that we both despise

so you're leaving now to try and beg or borrow
a device to help us
stop this river's ebb, this river's flow

it's that time of the century
and already decidedly unbelievable
we're facing hours of pleasure
while we're running on batteries
let's agree to be faithful please
and it really seems as if we're both 15 again
