Rusted and Used Lyrics by ​sElf

Breakfast with Girls

1999

[Verse 1]
Ask her for the mail back, turn the call back
Sleep it off all afternoon
Wherever your head's at, find your way back
That's an old, familiar tune

[Chorus]
(Ooh, just when you think)
You're all rusted and used
(Ooh, you turn around)
You're all shiny and new

[Verse 2]
Ought to just accept she's quite complex
She leads you on and leaves you bruised
She's an old romantic, her shadow's electric
Told a tale a time or two

[Chorus]
(Ooh, just when you think)
You're all rusted and used
(Ooh, you turn around)
You're all shiny and new
Shiny and new, yeah

[Bridge]
"I've got plans for you this time," she said
This town's a storybook
We'll skip the chapters you've already read
Take an ever-extensive deeper look

[Verse 3]
Well, two of us growing older, going nowhere
No, the melody's been used
But it's oh so clever, if love is forever
Then I think I could marry you

[Chorus]
(Ooh, just when you think)
You're all rusted and used
(Ooh, you turn around)
You're all shiny and new
(Ooh, just when you think)
You're all shiny and new
(You turn around)
You're all shiny and new
(Ooh, just when you think)
You're all shiny and new
Shiny and new, yeah
