Lyrics for Don't Get Excited
I want you to do exactly the opposite when I say Don't get excited There is always some advantage To be wielded and brought to bear It's a lonely occupation Keeping others at your hair Your finger's on all the switches You talk in whispers, you're talking soft You know all my favourite pitches Yeah, you know what gets me off Try to arrange a vital part of me My interest levels dropping rapidly You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh I just don't get excited I've been running around in circles Jump, jump, jumping at a cause They put animals in cages Specimens in jars So many, there's no temptation Baby nails digging at my skin It don't give me the right sensation You know it's just another thing Try to arrange a vital part of me My interest levels dropping rapidly You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh I just don't get excited Don't get excited, no Don't get excited, don't get excited You can talk about it all night long Think about it, think about it, nothing's wrong Don't get excited, don't get excited, well Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Baby listen without thinking You'd better obey without demands Oh, don't get edgy and don't start blinking And don't start making plans Try to arrange a vital part of me My interest levels dropping rapidly You try excuses baby, I'll just laugh I just don't get excited Don't get excited, no Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited, don't get excited Don't get excited
