The kisses of peace   Started off the evening   Reasonless fairs so well      A girded pair we are   We watch our words   And pretend not to care      The last time we touched   Was on the left side of the porch   Desire for days, but   Buttons never left their ports      'Cause the kiss is in the chemicals   Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend   What could be better than this alibi   This feeling that I wouldn't care if I were dead   If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch      The beauty's in the chemicals   That qualifies the kiss      Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy...a whore      You take my hand   You want to lead me to the porch again   I'm sorry dear but this time I must insist   That we set sail from here.      'Cause the kiss is in the chemicals   Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend   What could be better than my alibi   This feeling that I wouldn't care if I were dead   If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch
