They close your eyes, and the doctor says it's too late
You wonder why your life passes before you
In the dark, you slip into [bad word] You crash the car, you've gone too far
Policemen flash, they want credentials
You go too fast, but you're not careful
So you drive back home, in confusion, alone
She's a man, but when you get down to it
She says "Sure you can", you'll make love to her
She says "My place or yours?", drinks are poured
They'll keep you dance forever, so you dance together
To make a move now seems essential
Someone stares at you; the propagator has potential
To replace the other who just rediscovered her mother
'Cause you think you might need a lover

Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another

What's going on tonight? You think you might discover
So you pour a drink, and start to think about another
You get the sack when you turn up late
You think: Get this pressure off my back
With the deadlines missed, your boss gets [bad word] You fail your test, you're so depressed
And the job begins to suffer
And the job begins to suffer

And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered

Oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another

And the job begins to suffer for the love you have lost
'Cause you care such a lot about the job you've got
You couldn't care less, you're in such a mess
And life's tougher
And you're feeling older; perhaps it's colder with her mother
