Some Fantastic (Ivory And Ivory)


One day, I will build a fountian 
Drink and never grow old 
Then, I'll market an elixir 
That will eliminate the common cold 
Find your sickness on my list 
Pay up front and make a wish 

One day, I will work with animals 
All the tests I'm gonna do 
All my stuff's completely natural 
And when we're done, we'll boil 'em down for glue 
We can use to re-adhere 
Your lips to mine, if you were here 

There's a lot I will never do (there's a lot) 
Some fantastic, I know it's true 
But none as much as my want to be with you 

I can't stand to wait in line long 
So I built a new machine 
It just measures up the distance 
And then eliminates the folks between 

One day, I'll construct a satellite and I'll name it after you 
'Cause you were the greatest friend of all 
Except for when you split my lip in two 
To see the look upon your face, as I launch you into space 

There's a lot I will never do (there's a lot) 
Some fantastic, I know it's true 
But none as much as my want to be with you 

Bye-bye self-respect 
I haven't had much of it since you left 
I missed out on the best of you 

Some day, I will find the secret to your social chemistry 
Then, I'll print it on a t-shirt and it'll make you wanna be with me 
And if I wear it past your work, you'll see, other guys are jerks 
Much like pheromones for flies, you will not avoid my eyes 

There's a lot I will never do (there's a lot) 
Some fantastic, I know it's true 
But none as much as my want to be with you 

Bye-bye self-respect 
I haven't had much of it since you left 
I missed out on the best of you 
Bye-bye self-respect 
I haven't had much of it since you left 
I missed out on the best of you 

Bye-bye 
Bye-bye 
Bye-bye...
