Van der Graaf Generator

Drop Dead

A charmed circle on the dance floor,

a spell-binding display...

it's rather more than he bargained for,

Snow White or Morgan le Fay.

"Drop dead", she said.

Hey, big man, let testosterone flow,

flex the muscles like a monkey.

The male plumage is all puffed up in show

but the girls know how to debunk it.

"Drop dead", she said.

In a sense

some men are always caught in adolescence,

trying to crack the mystery girl cocoon.

It doesn't take a wicked witch

to point out obsolescence is a state

they might wake up to pretty soon.

Is it any wonder when they hone that perfect put-down

to deflate the macho tough guy male buffoon?

"Drop dead", she said.
