The kisses of peace
Started off the evening,
Reasonless fairs so well.
A girded pair we are;
We watch our words
And pretend not to care.

Oh, and the last time we touched
Was on the left side of the porch.
Desire for days, but buttons never left their ports.

'Cause the kiss is in the chemicals.
Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend?
What could be better than this alibi,
This feeling that I wouldn't care if I was dead?
If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch.

The beauty's in the chemicals
That qualify the kiss.
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy...
A whore, ahoy, ahoy... a whore.

You take my hand,
You want to lead me to the porch again.
I'm sorry, dear, but this time I must insist
That we set sail from here.

Oh, if we could just fuck,
Oh, and never have to touch,
Life would be so I perfect.

'Cause the kiss is in the chemicals.
Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend?
What could be better than this alibi,
This feeling that I wouldn't care if I was dead?
If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch.

The beauty's in the chemicals
That qualify the kiss.
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy,
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy.

The kiss is in the chemicals.
Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend?
What could be better than my alibi
Of feeling that I wouldn't care if I was dead?
If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch.

The beauty's in the chemicals
That qualifiy the kiss.

The kiss is in the chemicals.
Who needs a lover when you've got a new best friend?
What could be better than this alibi,
This feeling that I wouldn't care if I was dead?
If you pinch me now I wouldn't flinch.

The beauty's in the chemicals
That qualify the kiss.
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy,
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, ahoy.
