Stampede Lyrics by Wire

Manscape

1990

In times of peril such as these
Pleased as punch but not so simple
Taking chances that you're given

Take the Trabant to Brabant
Find security
In Western arms, in Western arms
Security

The non-believers can't agree
Hands are tied, we can't discuss it
Swapping potpourri for concrete

Take the glitter to Gorky
Find security
In Western arms, in Western arms
Security

(Strike) Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car (security)
Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car

Insiders think they've cracked the nut
Punch to please and not to crumble
Faking answers you are living

Empty larder history
Find security
In Western arms, in Western arms
Security

The double agent's single cell
Splits the endgame party symbol
Forked, endorsed, but not forgiven

Delegations with stories
Find security
Buy Western charms, buy Western charms
With security

Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car (Security)
Strike a man and he'll drive your car
Strike a man and he'll drive your car (Security)
Strike a man and he'll drive your car
(Security) Strike a man and he'll drive your car

In Western arms, in Western arms
Security
Buy Western charms, buy Western charms
With security

Strike a man and he'll drive your car
To the parts store at Kumbar
