INXS : INXS
Lyrics
1. On a Bus
Liquor market
Lots of flats
Another 24-hour chemist
Self-Serve gas
I said all these things
Serve me well
I said all these things
Serve me well, yeah
It's hypnotizing
It sends me to sleep
No one talks to anyone else
It's frightening
Everybody's minds are blank
Oh - oh hypnotizing
I'm always using you
When I'm out of cash
I stare through this window
On a bus, moving fast
I said all these things
Serve me well
I said all these things
Serve me well - yeah
2. Doctor
We're all running fast tonight
Rocket shoes on our feet
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there
by next week
I could've been a doctor
I could've been a lawyer
I could've been a scientist
I could've been normal
Especially in the daylight
You say don't worry while in flight
The darkness is like a fog
I won't get scared
I won't get tired
I've been in space, so damn long
The earth is just a big blue dot
I can't see the cars and planes
There's a planet where it's right
I'm sure we'll get there
By next week
3. Just Keep Walking
Green Fields - Grass and earth
Broken bottles - bricks and dirt
Sunshine soothing - clouds are hazy
Dark street corners - feeling lazy
Fast car driving
Sleek and modern
Public Transit
Photos Waiting
Blood and glass
Three points of rain
Carpet Lining
Seats reclining
Clever words on smooth tongue talking
Shove it brother - Just Keep Walking
City Penthouse - the kitchen living
A country home - it's a kitch living
Money can buy almost anything
But anything's nothing - when you're dead
4. Learn to Smile
Slow and easy is a dimension
Gonna laugh it up, laugh it up
They say you make no fool of you
An' it's new for you to gaze
Up and down inside yourself
Inside yourself
It's good in here
It's pretty far out
Yes, we're all just learning how to smile
We're looking out to you
We're looking out to you
Show your love, bite me now
Put a hand in and take it out
You can try to make me mad
Or change my mind, be careful
So you want me there now
So you want me there now
Barely moving I stagger - ha
Some interpretation
There's a buzzing in the station
Spinning station unravel me
Cross platforms with rehearsed travel
Rehearsed travel
Looking out to you
An were learning how to smile
5. Jumping
Say when you get down
Look to your left
Say when you get up
Look to your right
Figure out the puzzle
Make sure the pieces fit tight
Jumping around
all nite long
Jump and jump and
It's up to you
There is no sure fire
Way baybee
It's just the first star
You see at nite
Don't walk around feeling hazy
If you need a taste, take a bite
6. In Vain
Well just the other day
While alone in my room
I said to myself
I need something new
I've cut a new life slice
And feed the lions twice
And they'll shake their mains
In confusion
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Put a bet on everything
It'll come up fine
My fingers are crossed
And tapping in time
You got a pretty face
Such a pretty pretty face
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Maybe an older woman will
Show me a way to
Ease those creases and
Crave no reason cause
Reasons are with gods
There's a heaven within me
But we all shake our manes
In confusion
Should I grab you by the collar?
Or just go my way
With a knife between my
Clean white teeth?
Don't want your feather in my cap
Don't care about that
You can fuck your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
7. Roller Skating
I see a girl
She's roller skating
I don't know her
But she makes me feel
Like roller skating
If a had a chance at all
I'd build a road that never ends
Chinese envy - no damn waiting
I'll be with you roller skating
City lights
Turning green to red
I know I can't see you
All I want to do
Is take you to bed
8. Body Language
If you say something to me
An' you mean, you mean what you say
An' you're wanting my attention
There's a game you must play
Body Language
Body Language
Body Language
Body Language yo o o o o o
Use your eyes and your face
Words have no place
Move your body in a way
So I will know what you say
Body Language
Body Language
Body Language
Body Language yo o o o o o
9. Newsreel Babies
Venetian blinds are crackling
I like the noise
It's got texture
Hit it again when I'm mad
Close it again when I'm sad
With the door closed I'm a king
No questions, no answers
Don't like talking without reason
What's the use if you stop feeling?
All alone I'm cynical to the T.V
Newsman's making passes to newslady
Camera stops - Newsreel babies
I like to close all the doors
Make it dark, make it cool
Come in and talk
Whatever you like
I don't mind if it's something new
10. Wishy Washy
I got a place with a view
You can see the cars
As they travel down the freeway
To clubs and bars
There's a woman downstairs
With matt-grey hair
An' she smiles when she tells me
There's no room for me here
They've got it in the city
They've got it in the country
But here in the suburbs
It's all so wishy-washy
It's all so wishy-washy
I got another place
This time with a fireplace
An' a woman can come around
Write poetry and feel safe
I said it's good for me now
But I'm not being fed
I said it's good for me now
But I'm not being fed
