lyrics

Oh Zebedee, you're running after me
The comic tragedy, you'll never catch me
A house of ill repute where lies become the truth
Provides forbidden fruit for <em>Friends Without Names</em>

(It's all fun and games) 'til somebody dies
The parents cry "he was out little boy"
Well that could be him dressed in a disguise
Or it could be me, so open my...

No, it only goes to show
that what you never know is worth twice as much
As all you see and touch, two rabbits in a hutch
If paradise is Dutch, then Eden's a lie
A pie in the sky, a sweet lullaby

We're only human
We're only human
We're only...
We're only...

Oh Zebedee, a chronic symphony
Performing after me in key minor G
A shadow from your past, a snake within the grass
Residing in the glass of someone's champagne
Break another heart and stake
Your earnings on a horse, a loser of course
And if you think it's right, the consequences slight
Saint Anthony just might, be someone to know

Oh he's in like a flash
On top of a spring with a curly moustache
She'll do anything for the man with the rash
And that could be me so open my...

Nauseous feelings are appealing
When you get that sinking feeling come down
Get off the tragic roundabout
