lyrics

Half asleep on your lawn
Staring at the moon
Isn’t it nice to swoon?
Oh please, babe, stand still, stand still
I’m much too tired to stand
Let alone, let alone, keep up with

You
You beat me every time
But I’m having such a marvelous time
Trying to keep up with you
You promised you’d let me win
Tell me, where have you been?
Where are you going?
Are you mine to

Keep
This fire going
Keep the wine flowing
Oh I think I saw your neighbours spying on us
Oh what a show
We’ll have them laughing and crying every Friday
Night
Falls in our laps
It traps us like moths in its flaps
And hides inside of

You
You distance me every time
But I’m having a stupendous time
Trying to keep up with you
You promised you’d let me in
Let me get under your skin
And into your head
Oh your dreams I will

Teach
To every child on every street
To every single person that we’ll meet

We will carefully lay out every single detail
Add colour, taste, scent on a full-blown scale
Replicate, duplicate, your best dreams to contemplate
Lick, scratch, bite, tear, slap, tug … oh wait !
Oh please wait !
Why won’t you … why won’t you wait ?
