Oceanographer's Choice |
| Well, guy in a skeleton costume |
| Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit |
| Runs through him with a broadsword |
| Flip the television off |
| Bring all the bright lights up |
| Turn the radio up loud |
| I don’t know why I’m so persuaded |
| That if I think things through |
| Long enough and hard enough |
| I’ll somehow get to you |
| But then you came in and we locked eyes |
| You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other |
| Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall |
| And quickly lit another |
| Look at that |
| Would you look at that |
| We’re throwing off sparks |
| What will I do when I don’t have you to hold onto in the dark? |
| Yes, everybody’s gonna need a witness |
| Everybody’s gonna need a little backup incase the scene gets nasty |
| You throw the attic window open |
| And I throw myself all around you |
| And night comes to Tallahassee |
| I don’t know why it’s gotten harder |
| To keep myself away |
| I thought I’d finally beat the feeling back |
| It all came back today |
| But then we fell down and we locked arms |
| We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor |
| And I don’t mean it when I tell you |
| That I don’t love you anymore |
| Well look at that |
| Would you look at that |
| The way the ceiling starts to swerve |
| What will I do what I don’t have you |
| When I finally get what I deserve |
