(jagger/richards)
Heres father, his heart screwed on
Yes, here hes got it Im sure
cause he lost his life in an accident
Found his heart in the man next door
What exactlys gonna happen
When they do transplant the brain
Will my borrowed brain still compute the same
Or will my daughter suffer so much more
Here comes the girl, shes got her head screwed on
But it aint screwed on right
Her ambition is to be a prostitute
But the breaks just werent right
What exactlys gonna happen, tell me
When her father finds out
That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams
And that hes the one she wants to try out
Yeah
Theres ma, shes living dangerously
Its a cinch shell try it anything twice
She thinks she can run right to the whirlpools edge
And stop herself just in time
What exactlys gonna happen
When she finally fizzles out
The lovers will just be sucked into
To see what the colours of death are all about
Heres the son, has his legs a-screwed on
Yeah, theyre screwed on pretty tight
But his brain is loose and it aint no use
Hes already lost the fight
What exactlys gonna happen
When hes finally realized
That he cant play his guitar like e.g. jim
Or write st. augustine if he tried
Thats what happens
When a family finds out
That theyve been in orbit now for a thousand years
And need a thousand more to climb out
