Stephin Merritt - Quick! lyrics

[Verse 1: Shirley Simms] You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more Quick, before I walk out that door Quick, before it all ends in jeers What a waste of all those beers [Verse 2] You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed Quick, because I'm through being attacked Are you really prepared to lose All this just to air your views? [Bridge] We're on the brink of something [Verse 3] Get me a drink of something quick between your outrageous remarks Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks Quick, before you can't take that back Just before it all goes black [Verse 4] You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes You're living in dangerous times Torture me for your amusement About who will pay the rent [Outro] Who will pay the rent (x5)
