Sad but true
Hey, hey, I'm your wife
And I've no underwear.
Hey, hey, I'm your life
And I no longer care.
Hey, hey, b*tch ray
They, they'll betray
I'm a worn out Chesterfield
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm you wiggily wonder
I'm youre hate when you want love
I'm your dream.
My name's Ray.
I'm your dream.
Mind astray
I'm your penguin, you can feel.
I'm your pain when you can feel.
