Let me take your handI'm shaking like milkTurningTurning blueAll over the windows and the floorsFires outside in the skyLook as perfect as catsThe two of us together againBut it's just the sameA stupid game
But I don't care if you don'tAnd I don't feel if you don'tAnd I don't want it if you don'tAnd I won't say itIf you don't say it first
You think you're tired nowBut wait until three...Laughing at the Christmas lightsYou rememberFrom December
All of this then back againAnother girlAnother nameStay alive but stay the sameIt's just the sameA stupid game stupid game
But I don't care if you don'tAnd I don't feel if you don'tAnd I don't want it if you don'tAnd I won't play itIf you don't play it first
You can't even see nowSo you ask me the wayYou wonder if it's realBecause it couldn't be rain...Through the right doorwayAnd into the white roomIt used to be the dust that would lay hereWhen I came here alone
But I don't care if you don'tAnd I don't feel if you don'tAnd I don't want it if you don'tAnd I won't say itIf you don't say it first
Doo doo doo dooLet's go to bed!Doo doo doo dooLet's go to bed!

You're too far awayToo far away to touchAnd this mother's love inside meHurts too muchPrettily wavingPlaying on the sandDreaming of everythingDancingDancing in our handsDancingDancing
Dizzy dizzy dizzyAs I speakLike a tumbling catI watch in fascinationLike a vampire batDon't do it don't do itDon't do it don't do itDon't give it awayWe'll use it up tomorrowIf we don't use it today
Rest your headOh! just put it outsideAll wrapped up in ribbonsThe nightThe dreamThe time love died
We pushed it in our mouthsPushed it deep insideAll wrapped up in ribbonsThe nightThe dreamThe timeLove died

Remember the time that you rained all nightThe queen of Siam in my armsRemember the time that the islands sankBut nobody opened their eyes
Remember that time that the trees fell downThe wood crashing through the wallRemember the sound that could wake the deadBut nobody woke up at all
Somebody died for thisSomebody died for just one kiss
Remember the time that the sky went blackWe waited alone on the sandsRemember the taste of the raging seaBut nobody held out their hands
Somebody died for thisSomebody diedFor just one kiss
Just one kissJust one kiss

I love it allThese games we playI close my eyesYou run awayI'm sure I asked you to stayBut now you're gone
And so I feel the greyPulse in my headI turn off the lights and crawl into bedI try to think of sunshineBut my body goes wetWith the first crash of thunder...
I don't think I can knowAnyone but you dearThat's for sure!
When it gets to fourIt's my turn to goOh the kiss!So alcoholic and slowArranging me for SaturdayI thought you would knowThat I always sleep alone...
I don't think I can knowAnyone but youDearThat's for sure!
The upstairs room is cool and brightWe can go up there in summerAnd dance all night...
Your sister started talking at a minute after tenSo everyone jumped upAnd then fell over againIn April you can join themAnd stare at meAt the ghost from your past...

I called you after midnightThen ran until I burstI passed the howling womanAnd stood outside your door
We walked around a lakeAnd woke up in the rainAnd everyone turned overTroubled in their dreams again
Visiting time is overAnd so we walk awayAnd both play dead then cry out loudWhy we always cry this way?
I kissed you in the waterAnd made your dry lips singI saw you lookLike a Japanese babyIn an instant I remembered everything...
I called you after midnightThen ran until my heart burstI passed the howling womanAnd stood outside your door

It was only yesterdayWaving arms across the streetYour white face left me blue...How can I say all the thingsI have to say to you?Oh! all the people hereAll look the same...The little time I spend with youWe drink each other dry
Mammnnarghaassstmmetc!Speak my language!
It was only yesterdayMy eyes touched yours across the streetWe cut the wordsAnd waved goodbyeAnd dropped off the edge of the world
Mammnnarghaassstmmetc!Speak my language!

We move like caged tigersOh, we couldn't get closer than thisThe way we walkThe way we talkThe way we stalkThe way we kissWe slip through the streetsWhile everyone sleepsGetting bigger and sleekerAnd wider and brighterWe bite and scratch and scream all nightLet's go and throwAll the songs we know...
Into the seaYou and meAll these years and no one heardI'll show you in springIt's a treacherous thing"We missed you", hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfullyWonderfully pretty!Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...We should have each other to tea huh?We should have each other with creamThen curl up by the fireAnd sleep for awhileIt's the grooviest thingIt's the perfect dream

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfullyWonderfully pretty!You know that I'd do anything for you...We should have each other to dinner We should have each other with creamThen curl up in the fireGet up for awhileIt's the grooviest thingIt's the perfect dream
Hand in handIs the only way to landAnd always the right way roundNot broken in piecesLike hated little meeces...How could we missSomeone as dumb as this?
I love you... let's go...Oh... solid gold...How could we missSomeone as dumb as this?

Today there was a tragedyUnderneath the bridgeA man walkedCold and blueInto La MentThe sky coloured perfectAs the man slipped awayWaving with a last vanilla smile...
Somewhere at a tableTwo drowned foolsSmokingDrinking water as they talkedOf how they loved our ladyAnd oh! the smell as candles die...
One more ice cream river bodyFlowed underneath the bridgeUnderneath the bridge
