Lullaby |
I cannot say 'oh sweetness' like he could |
and I cannot play a lullaby like it should |
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 lookin up as I’m lyin' 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 drama, and 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 |
CHORUS: |
I’ll give you all night movie marathon and a triple espresso 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 |
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 run amok 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 escapr 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 obcurity |
but when we meet in the middle say mmm it’s a treat |
dramatically, ecstatically, indefatigably, sex-o-matically |
CHORUS: |
She give me… |
