"Lived In Splendour: Died In Chaos" lyrics - POP WILL EAT ITSELF

Built to stay the pace, not lazy
Bleary eyed, a wide berth crazy
Taken easy, lived the steazy lifestyle
On the jaws of a crocodile
Wired and fired up to erode the '90s
Total overload excites me
Standing naked, come to make it
Fall apart for all the wild at heart
Party people with hearty appetites
Start at Z, 'cause we get up at night
Walk a tight wire, breathing fire and thunder
Then we're dead and down under

[Chorus 1:]
Expressway to a higher heaven
A long ride up, a quick slide down
Expressway to a higher heaven
(A slow, slow fuck and a slow, slow suck)

Psychedelic love, flow freely
Hold in high esteem, hold dearly
When you're near me, we'll positively gravitate
Just you wait, you'll see
Born to live and love, not to push and shove
Here to give hope and rise above
All the bullshit and all the crap
(Because I got it like that)

[Chorus 1:]
Expressway to a higher heaven
A long ride up, a quick slide down
Expressway to a higher heaven
(A slow, slow fuck and a slow, slow suck)

[Interlude]

Slow, slow
Slow, slow
Slow...

[Chorus 2:]
I got no questions, I got all answers
I give no reasons, I got no time
I live in splendour, I'll die in chaos
I'd love to stay, but I got no time

The real deal is a steal of quality
Sex and death and know no apologies
Free of ties and of all lies and disguise
I use a wise guy's eyes
When we've sown the seeds of passion
We'll explode in a most artistic fashion
First to explore a kiss before dying
Now's the time for trying
The golden age of junk, Toys "R" Us
Drunken joys, in Bacchus we trust
God of wine and divine giver of ecstacy
Read: sugar and strychnine
Surging forward, urging persistence
To the pineapple of our existence
We satisfy and gratify our senses
'Fraid we're made in the '60s
Born to live and love, not to push and shove
Here to give hope and rise above
All the bullshit and all the crap
Because we got it like that

[Chorus 1:]
Expressway to a higher heaven
A long ride up, a quick slide down
Expressway to a higher heaven
(A slow, slow fuck and a slow, slow...)

[Chorus 2:]
I got no questions, I got all answers
I give no reasons, I got no time
I live in splendour, I'll die in chaos
I'd love to stay, but I got no time
