[Verse 1]
Jet skis on the moat
They shot it all in CinemaScope
As though it's the last time you're gonna ride
Showstoppers anonymous
Come over here and give your buddy a hug
So much for decidin' not to let it slide
[Chorus]
Is there somethin' on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
[Verse 2]
Lights out on the Wonder Park
Your saw-toothed lover boy was quick off the mark
That's long enough in the sunshine for one night
Didn't recognise you through thе smoke
Pyjama pants and a Subbuteo cloak
You know that it's alright if you wanna cry
[Chorus]
Is therе somethin' on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
Jet skis on the moat
They shot it all in CinemaScope
As though it's the last time you're gonna ride
Showstoppers anonymous
Come over here and give your buddy a hug
So much for decidin' not to let it slide
[Chorus]
Is there somethin' on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
[Verse 2]
Lights out on the Wonder Park
Your saw-toothed lover boy was quick off the mark
That's long enough in the sunshine for one night
Didn't recognise you through thе smoke
Pyjama pants and a Subbuteo cloak
You know that it's alright if you wanna cry
[Chorus]
Is therе somethin' on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
