What Gets You Off?

Jack's Mannequin

What Gets You Off?

Song byJack's Mannequin

in AlbumThe Glass Passenger

It was last night

In an empty warehouse party, oh

And there in the blacklight

I could see the tatoos glowing on your body

Well, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh

She says to meet her there

Beside the power station, oh

And she said she'd let me stare

If the chemicals don't keep her waiting

Well, oh, oh oh

Whoa, oh oh oh

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you

I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught

I'm always coming down from the night before when I met you

To hear what gets you off

What gets you off

Red fingernail polish

Peeling like a sunburn, oh

That black designer dress

Looks better underneath our feet

Your knees on the dirt

Oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh oh

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you

I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught

I'm always coming down from the night before when I bet you

To hear what gets you off

What gets you off

Yeah, what gets you off

Oh oh oh, yeah...

Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I left you

I'm always coming down, but I'm doing my best to get caught

We're always coming down from the night before when I bet you

To hear what gets you off

What gets you off

Oh oh oh...

What gets you off...
