Flesh for Fantasy
Billy Idol Lyrics

There's a change in pace
Something is different and unexpected

Of fantasy and taste
Involves desires and preferences

Do you like good music
Do you enjoy listening to good songs

Do you like to dance
Do you enjoy dancing

Hangin' out for a body shop at night
Looking for a place to satisfy physical desires at night

Ain't it strange what we do to feel alright
Behavior to feel okay could be unusual or questionable

So when will you call
Asking for communication to proceed with the interaction

I am experienced oh yeah
Being confident due to prior events

Face to face
Having a person to person interaction

And back to back
Also involves a sexual position

You see and feel
Visual and physical senses are very involved

My sex attack
Refers to making sexual advances

Sing it, flesh, flesh for fantasy
The idea of using physical bodies for pleasure and satisfaction

We want flesh, flesh for fantasy
Physical bodies are needed for satisfaction

It's after midnight
The time is very late

Are you feeling alright
Inquiring about physical and emotional state

Turn out the light babe
Asking to turn off the lights for privacy

Are you someone else tonight
Asking if someone is open to trying different things

Neighbor to neighbor, door to door
The interaction with others is happening at different places

Don't ask questions
Implies no conversation, just action

There's time for it all, oh yeah
Implies there is enough time to fulfill desires

I sing for culture
The lyrics refer to a more expressive cultural movement

Father loves his son
Fatherly devotion to his children is endeared by the human race

Mothers, daughters too
Motherly devotion to their children of each gender is also very sentimental

It's an old, old story
Depicts a well worn tale throughout history

Cries the new world too
Implies the same thing happening within new generations

We want, flesh, flesh for fantasy
There is a strong desire for distorting reality

You cry, flesh, flesh for fantasy
It becomes a priority to have the participation of the flesh

Let's go down, let's go down
Let us do what is desired

Do you like good music
Asking if the person has a preference for high-quality songs

It's nearly mornin'
Time has passed and the morning is approaching

You want to risk a chance
Asking if someone wants to try something different

Enjoy the crime
Although taboo, the embrace of the act is inviting

You do your time
Accepting and dealing with the aftermath of actions that can have consequences

Never been nothin' before
Implying a new experience, unlike any previously from memory
