You're a white collar boy and you gave into the lawGive in to the pressure the cops gonna getchaYou were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little pawYour wage won't stretch, to picking up checksA custodial sentence you narrowly avoidedCommunity service you had to go along with You're banging the rocks at the old city docksPoor boy poor boy poor boy poor boyboy poor boy poor boy poor boy
You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a lookIt's a nice way to die she's so easy on the eyeShe said let's get away, but you played it by the bookYou're a warden's pet, she's a screaming suffragette"We ain't in prison, we'll just finish up and go home"She said, "Not for me, I've got plans for later on"So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a bargeYou fell, you fell you fell you fellfell you fell you fell you fell
White collar, got dirt in your pantsYou got egg in your hairYou got spit in your chin you're aWhite collar, scared to be boredBlue Collar, she's opening doorsWhite collar boy, on the run from the law
She said "You ain't ugly, you can kiss me if you like"Go ahead and kiss her, you don't know what you're missingYou said "Baby, you're special, But there's something not quite right."She's a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!"Oh I am innocent, you are a rocket. Things were ok till you took out the copper"Leave me alone, and get used to the chainsYou're a pain, You're a pain, You're a pain, You're a painPain You're a pain, You're a pain, You're a pain
White collar, got dirt in your pantsYou got egg in your hairYou got spit in your chin you're aWhite collar, scared to be boredBlue Collar, she's opening doorsWhite collar boy, on the run from the lawthe law the law the lawget on your bike get on your horse

I love you like I love my bloodI love this town, I love you just as muchI love you like I love my GodI thought that we agreed to never touchCome and sit beside me in the darkIncline your head
Mama take a hold of meI read bad books, I'm crying in my sleepMama take a hold of meLonely's easy for the rocks and trees'Sister make my feelings known', I whisper to the grass
Supersonic sight, practiced in thickest light9.30, hello night-timeI'll never sleep again
Heaven in the afternoonThe sunlight bids me to the viewing roomI take a little overdoseAnd the sun has gone, I see the city clockBaby did you pick yourself a boy up in the aisle?
You want someone to read to youA bear called PoohTales of Ratty's riverbankA fantasyBaby storiesA reverieA body warm in sympathyA body warm in sympathy

It came my way on a lonesome dayThe long black scarf took my possessionValentino's own, passed down from the throneWith powers to use with discretionThrough hallowed hallThrough streetlight strollThrough winter snow, the scarf's a-flyingHe can feel salvation coming aroundThis time he knows it existsThe instant cool, the sexual appeal Of a handsome romantic that no girl could resistBreakAround my neck I slowly feltThe noose of innocence, it was tighteningYou got all that you thought you wanted And now there's ice in your heartYou kissed the girls, you notched them upYou said goodbye, you figured it outYou learned the game, you're not the sameIcy drift, a solar eclipse Who can tell your story?Long black scarf, put it onBound for love, bound for glory
