Lyrics

New Wave intro with keyboard and theremin

I walk into my local market

Fruits and veggies shining everywhere

I've gone to buy some food for dinner

It's cool inside - yeah, I haven't got a care

All of a sudden I see someone coming toward me

It's a woman with a rattling shopping cart

I instantly feel myself shying away from her

Even though we're still ten feet apart

She looked a bit bedraggled

Like she'd worn those clothes all night

Her cart was filled with cheap wine and booze

And then she looked me right in the eye

And she said...

I'm going in the wrong direction

I have been for a while

If you know what's good, you'll just stay out of my way

I'm headed for the checkout line

As she got closer I could see

That she was a bit younger than me

Much younger than she appeared to be

Yeah, she lived at a high velocity

It looked like she had seen it all

But she wasn't waiting for the ax to fall

She pushed her cart, yeah, and she stood tall

To judgers, she says "(BLEEEEP) you all"!

Brief jagged keyboard and theremin solo

Ohhhh, she looked a bit bedraggled

Like she'd worn those clothes all night

Her cart was filled with cheap wine and booze

And then she looked me right in the eye

And she said...

I'm going in the wrong direction

I have been for a while

If you know what's good, you'll just stay out of my way

I'm headed for the checkout line

Yeah, I'm going in the wrong direction

I have been for a while

If you know what's good, you'll just stay out of my way

I'm headed for the checkout line
