We've got the afternoon, you got this room for two One thing I've left to do Discover me, discovering you One mile to every inch of your skin like porcelain One pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue And if you want love, we'll make it Swimming in a deep sea of blankets Take all your big plans and break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll lose my head) Your body is a wonderland There's something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase You tell me where to go and though I might leave to find it I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it You want love? We'll make it Swimming in a deep sea of blankets Take all your big plans and break 'em This is bound to be a while Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll lose my head) Your body is a wonderland Damn baby, you frustrate me I know you're mine, all mine, all mine But you look so good it hurts sometimes Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonder (I'll lose my head) Your body is a wonderland Your body is a wonderland

When sky blue gets dark enoughTo see the colors of the city lightsA trail of ruby red and diamond whiteHits her like a sunrise She comes and goes and comes and goesLike no one can Tonight she's out to lose herselfAnd find a high on Peachtree StreetFrom mixed drinks to techno beats it's alwaysHeavy into everything She comes and goes and comes and goesLike no one canShe comes and goes and no one knowsShe's slipping through my hands She's always buzzing just likeNeon, neonNeon, neonWho knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away, away I can't be her angel nowYou know it's not my place to hold her downAnd it's hard for me to take a standWhen I would take her anyway I can She comes and she goes Like no one canShe comes and she goes She's slipping through my handsShe's always buzzing just like Neon, neonNeon, neonBut who knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away She comes and she goes Like no one canShe comes and she goes She's slipping through my handsShe's always buzzing just like Neon, neonNeon, neonBut who knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away

I never liked this Apple muchIt always seemed too big to touchI can't remember how I foundMy way before she came around I tell everyoneI smile just becauseI got a city loveI found it in LydiaAnd I can't remember life before her name She keeps a toothbrush at my placeAs if I had the extra spaceShe steals my clothes to wear to workI know her hairs are on my shirt I tell everyoneI smile just becauseI got a city loveI found in LydiaAnd I can't remember life before The day she called up and came to meCovered in rain with dinnertime shadowingAnd as her clothes spun we spoonedAnd I knew I was throughWhen I said, "I love you" Friday evening, we've been drinkingTwo A.M. I swear that I just might proposeBut we close the tabSplit a cab And call each other up when we get home, yeahFalling asleep to the sound of sirens I got a city love, ohAnd I found it in America, oh oh ohFrom the battery to the galleryIt's the kind of thing you only seeIn scented, glossy magazines And I can't remember life before her name

Suppose I saidI am on my best behaviorAnd there are timesI lose my worried mind Would you want me when I'm not myself?Wait it out while I am someone else? Suppose I saidColors change for no good reasonAnd words will goFrom poetry to prose Would you want me when I'm not myself?Wait it out while I am someone else? And I, in time, will come aroundI always do for you Suppose I saidYou're my saving grace Would you want me when I'm not myself?Wait it out while I am someone else? Would you want me when I'm not myself?Wait it out while I am someone else?

Here, comes the cold.Break out the winter clothesAnd find a love to call your own. You...enter you.Your cheeks a shade of pinkAnd the rest of you in powder blue. Who knows, what will be?But I'll make you this guarantee... No way November will see our goodbyesWhen it comes to December it's obvious whyNo one wants to be alone at Christmas time In the dark, on the phone,You tell me the names of your brothersAnd your favorite colors...I'm learning you. And when, it snows againWe'll take a walk outsideAnd search the sky, like children do (I'll say to you..) No way November will see our goodbyesWhen it comes to December it's obvious why.No one wants to be alone at Chrismas time.Come January, we're frozen inside.Making new resolutions a hundred timesFebruary, won't you be my valentine?And we'll both be safe till St. Patrick's day. We should take a ride tonight around the townAnd look around at all the beautiful houses.Something in the way the blue light's on the black nightCan make you feel more Everybody it seems to me,Just wants to be, just like you and me No one wants to be alone at Christmas timeCome January we're frozen insideMaking new resolutions a hundred times.February, won't you be my valentine? And if our always is all that we gaveAnd we someday, take that awayI'll be alright...if it was just till St. Patrick's Day.
