10 Minutes Till The Savages Come Lyrics

    Spiked heels and porkpie hat -
    Have you on the mend
    In no time flat
    A shimmy and a shake,
    A pitter and pat
    Hey there sugar -
    Take a look at that!

    Don't you despair ‘cause your
    Fantasy life is nowhere
    Under my care you'll be
    Back in the pink
    Drunk without a drink

    Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
    Loosen up and roll to the
    Rumble of the drum
    Make believe it's midnite
    In manhattan
    10 minutes till the savages come

    Come here and don't look back -
    Meet me at the end
    Of the cul-de-sac
    Come on! stand up at attention
    And i'll do the same
    Hey there tiger,
    Now don't you be ashamed

    Life has a way of destroying our
    Sense of child's play
    But under my wing you'll be
    Back in the pink
    Drunk without a drink

    Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
    Let your backbone roll to the
    Rumble of the drum
    Make believe it's midnite
    In manhattan
    10 minutes till the savages come

    Sigmund freud himself
    Wouldn't have needed to worry
    If his hands were tied by me
    There's no neurosis that this
    Doctor can't diagnose
    I'll find the monster and
    Deliver a lethal dose

    Life has a way of destroying
    Our sense of child's play
    But under my wing you'll be
    Back in the pink
    Drunk without a drink

    (repeat 1st chorus)
    (repeat 1st verse)
