Once there was a time I might have caught your eye
Now Mr. Invisible, you just pass him by
As folly breaks from witless lips
Flickerin’ fingers flutter fickle brow
All this struck-dumb beauty is no good to me now
Suckerville
Once there was a time you might have hung on every word
Now it’s sight unseen
Now it’s sound unheard
The cockles of your heart
You might have warmed against the flame I kept
In the everlasting night
I’m stealing by, I’m unknown and unwept
Suckerville
Too stupid to be stupid
And nothin’ worth the fight or fightin’ for
Just retro-deco desperados dissin’ the disco décor
Now Mr. Invisible, you just pass him by
As folly breaks from witless lips
Flickerin’ fingers flutter fickle brow
All this struck-dumb beauty is no good to me now
Suckerville
Once there was a time you might have hung on every word
Now it’s sight unseen
Now it’s sound unheard
The cockles of your heart
You might have warmed against the flame I kept
In the everlasting night
I’m stealing by, I’m unknown and unwept
Suckerville
Too stupid to be stupid
And nothin’ worth the fight or fightin’ for
Just retro-deco desperados dissin’ the disco décor
