I cannot say 'oh sweetness'
|
like he could
|
and I cannot play a lullaby
|
like it should
|
|
I'll give you all night movie marathon
|
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
|
it might be late - but
|
it's never too late for that lovin
|
my sexy babe
|
|
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
|
because she's got that torment
|
to a fine art
|
smart like a foxy
|
and craf-ty-as-a-cat
|
i'm looking up
|
as i'm lying on my back
|
bite the beast
|
if i want a big piece of the pie
|
but she's taken the feast
|
in the blink of an eye
|
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
|
|
what's going on
|
- it feels so right
|
when it seems so wrong
|
like a plot hatched
|
in the sweet spot of that trap
|
- ask what she's schemes
|
she say 'oh this and that'
|
then she snaps like a camera
|
in black with a flash
|
puts the drum in the drama
|
the hand in the clap
|
she's a map with no bearings
|
attached - no
|
safety-in-this-match
|
fire you can't catch
|
then zap I was struck by that
|
bolt before dawn
|
then by breakfast honey
|
we was signed and sworn
|
|
I'll give you all night movie marathon
|
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
|
it might be late - but
|
it's never too late for that lovin
|
my sexy babe
|
|
something always telling me
|
'save prayers before dawn'
|
cos what happens when I'm with you
|
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
|
I'm worn out but I'm beaming
|
and it seems that we are dreamy
|
as we head out through that strange old morning door
|
|
This game is no game
|
but it's played all the same
|
and I love it even
|
if it makes me deranged
|
it's like tears in the rain
|
burning spears in my brain
|
cause me pain sometimes
|
make me drained
|
but I cannot complain
|
- mad the ugly good and bad
|
had some happy with my sad
|
and some tricks in my bag
|
when it's up run a muck
|
like a bull that just bucked
|
when it's down it's a drag
|
|
and you fight with no partner to tag
|
- at times I would dive in the sea
|
to escape from the rising
|
and crashing malea
|
drink tea with a fat fish
|
and find a golden key
|
then rise to the surface
|
and open my baby
|
and maybe she'd say 'we are crazy'
|
the two of us together like melbourne weather
|
be like balls in a maze see
|
we rolling along in obscurity
|
but when we meet in the middle
|
say mmm it's a treat
|
|
I'll give you all night movie marathon
|
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
|
- it might be late but
|
it's never too late for that lovin
|
my sexy babe
|
|
something always telling me
|
'save your prayers before dawn'
|
cos what happens when I'm with you
|
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
|
I'm worn out but I'm beaming
|
and it seems that we are dreamy
|
as we head out through that strange old morning door
|
|
I used to laugh
|
but now I have to cry
|
because today my baby tell me
|
that it's time to say goodbye
|
ask her 'why what did I do?
|
You and me we were so sly'
|
then she sigh 'that's true
|
we were slinky through and through
|
but it's sad and it's set
|
I get high then I get depressed
|
and I guess when we're together
|
it's that happy kind of stress'
|
touching left right down
|
kiss my finger I reply
|
'I can't deny you were the best
|
and by the best I mean the mess you made
|
|
I must confess I never
|
met-a-more sexy maid
|
that smell like me
|
so bless your wayward ways
|
and loving craze and crazy days
|
and things you'de say
|
and looks you made
|
you're not the queen of hearts
|
you're the queen of spades
|
and you'de take my breath away
|
any day that way
|
so anyway is this the end?
|
Is this the fifth act of the play?
|
I kissed her then I turned
|
and was about to walk away
|
when I sense a little tingle
|
that begin down from below
|
then I hear her with a whisper
|
'you're the most gullible man I know'
|
