Fools on parade cavort and carry on For waiting eyes That you would rather be beside than in front of But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm Grabbed my hand and made it very clear There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration To be attempted on a Wednesday night It's better than to get a reputation As a miserable little tyke At least that's the conclusion She came to in this overture
The secret door swings behind us She's saying nothing She's just giggling along
Her arms were folded most indignant Not looking like she was soon to leave I had to squint in order to believe And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf I'm unveiling the unexpected How she was never gonna look to? Suddenly embarrassed and corrected How could such a creature Survive in such a habitat
The secret door swings behind us She's saying nothing She's just giggling along And even if they were to find us I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied
At all the fools on parade Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes That you would rather be beside than in front of But she's never been the kind To be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture That holds her options But you're daft to think she'd care
I sat in the cafe by the cracker factory You were practicing a magic trick And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed On the last of your pick and mix
Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper Is all you have left and it was going to waste
Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection It was on it's way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never look like yourself from the side But your profile did not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoon
Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes You are crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying
Been fighting with my sheets And nearly crying in my sleep Yes, I'm battling that well taught gripe The most restraining type You should have racing stripes
The way you keep me in pursuit Sharpen the heel of your boot And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze Then to my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark A-N-I-M-A-L Makes my head pirouette More than I won't be willing to confess D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The light it fidgets through The thoughts'll soon revert to you About as bashful as a tribal dance The first and final chance And cause the audience
The frighteners and fiends Divided up into two teams When the acrobat fell off the beam She broke everyone's hearts
I'm pinned down by the dark A-N-I-M-A-L Makes my head pirouette More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The most unsuitable pet It's been long enough now so let's Make a mess lioness
Pinned down by the dark I'm pinned down by the dark
I was biting the time zone, And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams, And threw caution to the colourful Then we fell asleep in the car, Until the bumps woke me up in your grip And the tide took me to your mouth, And then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder That yours is the only ocean, (Yours Is the only ocean) That I wanna swing from, Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna hang on
I've got this ego mechanic, She's always trying to give me vitamins Oh she'd be frightened of your reflection, I preferred her as a cartoon If I could be someone else for a week, I'd spend it chasing after you, Cos she's not shattering my attitude, No matter how she folds the potion
Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna swing from, Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna hang on to I'm swinging on Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean
Potion approaching, shield your eyes, Potion approaching, visualize, Holding a token, swollen in size, Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Oh but if we're gonna escape though, We really ought to think it through, Would you like me to build you a go kart?
You showed me my tomorrow Beside a box of matches A welcome threatening stir
My hopes of being stolen Might just ring true Depends who you prefer
But if it's true you're gonna run away Tell me where I'll meet you there
Am I snapping the excitement If I pack away the laguther And tell you how it feels
And does burden come to meet ya If I've questions of the feature that runs on your dream wheel
The day after you stole my heart, Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you
And you're hiding in my soup And the book reveals your face And there's a splashing in my eyelids The concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast Didn't heal as fast I hear your vioce in silences Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?
And the jostling crowd You're not allowed to tell the truth And the photobooth's a liar And the sharpened explanations But theres no screaming reason to inquire I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they never see if it smacks in their temples
Thought I saw you in the battleship But it was only a look a like She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light She was close, close enough to be your ghost But my chances turned to toast When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook Huddled up in wicker chair I wandered up for a closer look And kissed who ever was sitting there
She was close, and she held me very tightly 'Til I asked awfully politely, please Can I call you her name
And I elongated my lift home, Yeah I let him go the long way round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak Messing with the smoke alarm It was too loud for me to hear her speak And she had a broken arm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet And she wrote it out in letraset No you can't call me her name
Tell me where's your hiding place I'm worried I'll forget your face And I've asked everyone And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home Yeah I let him go the long way round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in the cornerstone On the phone to the middle man When I saw that she was on her own I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer She said I'm really not supposed to but yes, You can call me anything you want
I heard the truth was built to bend A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar
Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz And you're bound to trip And she'll detect the fiction on Your lips and dig a contradiction up
And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt The liar take a lot less time
I'm sure it's clear and plain to me Its not an alibi you need just yet Oh no it's something for those beads of sweat Yes that we'll get you back to normal
And after you have dabbed the patch you'll grieve And then proceed to scratch the varnish off That newly added calmness So as not to raise any alarms too soon
And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar takes a lot less
Time to decide on his saunter Have you got itchy bones And in all your time alone Can you hack your mind being riddled With the wrong memories
And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt between the dirt
Tricking through the morning, The tramp with the trampoline under his arm, Shifts past your whiskers, So spark is a charm with the barking alarm, Weighs coil 'til the corner is turned.
And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round, In your muddy mind, Blatantly cape town, And will intertwine in co-operative time, Shall we sit on the springs 'til the mung goes dry?
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the
What came first the chicken or the dickhead? Split sleep reeps through rewards and ill fitting thoughts, A twilight force, she doesn't wanna walk, Your legs start running and your head gets caught, Cannot be nineteen, it's perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening, Pulled from the after taste, you'll have to slip away, And I'm happy to say, Behold as the crook in a hammock plays
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall
Behold as the crook in the hammock plays, Crawling with the base of the scales, And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act, Gagged, bound and craft in a tale, Trailing wrapped in a gasp,
Crawling with the base of the scales, And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act, You were gagged, bound and craft in a tale, Trailing wrapped in a gasp.
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall.
