  • High on diesel and gasoline
    Psycho for drum machine
    Shaking their bits to the hits, oh oh
    Drag acts, drug acts, suicides
    In your dad's suits you hide
    Staining his name again

    Cracked up, stacked up, twenty-two
    Psycho for sex and glue
    Lost it to Bostik, yeah
    Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill
    Got too much time to kill
    Get into bands and gangs, oh

    Here they come
    The beautiful ones
    The beautiful ones
    La la la la
    Here they come
    The beautiful ones
    The beautiful ones
    La la la la la

    La la, loved up, doved up, hung around
    Stoned in a lonely town
    Shaking their meat to the beat
    High on diesel and gasoline
    Psycho for drum machine
    Shaking their bits to the hits, oh

    Here they come
    The beautiful ones
    The beautiful ones
    La la la la
    Here they come
    The beautiful ones
    The beautiful ones

    Oh, you don't think about it
    You don't do without it
    Because you're beautiful, yeah yeah
    And if your baby's are going crazy
    That's how you made me, la la
