Lyrics for Muscle in Plastic

Ooh, gonna be like a dog Lay flat on my back Pull my feet off the ground Ooh, let my head hit the sack I'm muscle in plastic Nyjinsky's bad move Just a white show piece I've got nothing, nothing to lose I preach for the praise Well, I can't dance so I gaze Like a bad offset Well, I'm just counting the days Well, I'm a muscle in plastic Nyjinsky's bad move Just a white show piece I've got nothing, nothing to lose, oh Yeah Well, I can't dance so I gaze And I preach for the praise You can't dance stay here, here Well, you can't dance stay here, here Owh, oh Sonar blips on my arms My head's increased Just a hotel inmate I'm the lover deceased I'm the latent impression of a dancer's leg I like faking persuasion And laying my bed I'm a muscle in plastic Ooh, Nyjinsky's bad move ooh Just a white show piece I've got nothing to lose I've got nothing to lose, lose Nothin', oh nothin', nothin' Nothin, nothin', nothin', nothin'
