[Verse 1]

Alcoholic kind of mood

Lose my clothes, lose my lube

Cruising for a piece of fun

Looking out for number one

Different partner every night

So narcotic, out of sight

What a gas, what a beautiful ass


[Chorus]

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me, me


[Verse 2]

Kind of buzz that lasts for days

Had some help from insect ways

Comes across all shy and coy

Just another nancy boy

Woman, man, a modern monkey

Just another happy junkie

Fifty pound, press my button, going down


[Chorus]

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me, me


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

Does his makeup in his room

Doused himself with cheap perfume

Eyeholes in a paper bag

Greatest lay I ever had

Kinda guy who mates for life

Gotta help him find a wife

We're a couple when our bodies double


[Chorus]

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me, me

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal

Got the muse in my head, she's universal

Spinning me 'round, she's coming over me, me, me
