Might as well face it...

When President Bush delivered his State of the Union address last night, I had a very odd flashback... to a 1980s video.
Hence, with a tip of the toque/fedora/pork pie hat to the late Robert Palmer, I share it with you...

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another barrel is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another barrel is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to oil
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another barrel and you'll be mine,
A one track mind, you can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats, your teeth grind
Another barrel and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil
Might as well face it, you're addicted to oil

Now if we could get Frank Trainor to record this... but who would we get for the ladies in the video?
