[Chorus]

Expert lover, my baby

You ever had a Crystal Ball?

Expert lover, my baby

You ever had a Crystal Ball?

Ooh, expert lover, my baby

Ever had a Crystal Ball?

Expert lover, my baby

You ever had a Crystal Ball?


[Verse 1]

As bombs explode around us and hate advances on the right

The only thing that matters, baby, is the love that we make Tonight

As little babies in make-up terrorize the western world

The only thing that matters, baby, is love between a boy and girl


[Chorus]

Oh, expert lover, my baby

You ever had a Crystal Ball?

Undercover, no maybe

All for fun and fun for all


[Verse 2]

I can't remember my baby's voice because she ain't talking no more

Only the sound of love and prayer echo from the yellow floor

Yellow floor

Huh, she's saying:

"Dear Jesus, save us from temptation

Dear Jesus, save us from hell

Save us from the madness that threatens us all

Can you hear us? It's hard to tell

In your name we pray"


[Chorus]

Oh, expert lover, my baby

You ever had a Crystal Ball?

Undercover, no maybe

All for fun and fun for all


[Verse 3]

As soldiers draw swords of sorrow

My baby draws pictures of sex (Yes, she does)

All over the walls in graphic detail: sex


[Chorus]

Everybody say it now

Expert lover, huh, my baby

Ever had a Crystal Ball?

Under... undercover, ha, no maybe

All for fun and fun for all


[Interlude]

Rip it, ouch! Uh

Uh, expert lover, my baby (My baby)

Her mama watch her gas
