The Pleasure Principle

You might think I'm crazy, but I'm seriousIt's better you know nowWhat I thought was happiness was only part time blissYou can take a bowIt was all just one big night out on the townRiding in your limousineWe turned right and I said wrong which brings us to a stopAs the light is changing[Chorus]Oh, my meters running, so I've got to go nowIt's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-oooIt's the principle of pleasure, oh-oooIt's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o[Verse 2]It's true you want to build your life on guaranteesHey, take a ride in a big yellow taxiI'm not here to feed your insecuritiesI wanted you to love meThis has become an all too familiar sceneIt's not the first time I paid the fareWhere'd you get the idea of material possession?Thank you for the ride, nowhere[Chorus]And oh, my meters running, so I've really got to go
