Chemistry Class — Elvis Costello

She throws back her hair [hands] and she shows you her mouth

The breath that I waste trying to ruin your life

Beautys on a budget but you take it on the chin

cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

Youve got a chemistry class I want a piece of your mind

You dont know what you started when you mixed it up with mine

Are you ready for the final solution? oh. oh.

They

Threw you out of the academy of garbage

Youll be a joker all your life

A student at the comedy college

People pleasing people pleasing people like you

Youve been around so long but you still dont know what to do

(chorus)

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons

Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons

Ready to experiment, youre ready to be burned

If it wasnt for some accidents then some would never ever learn

(chorus)
