On the glass that wraps the telephone box An impatient bystander knocks Put the receiver back down in it's place In the some things should be said to the face I'm a believer
You're stripped of all your worldly powers And starring at the opposite apartment block for hours You say that each window is just a TV channel And you'd surrender all your so-called friends for flowers
And you'd rather be sleeping in the paddock with the horses While the stars cross the sky's on their prescribed courses Can you take me with you when you go?
Because love is just a lazy generalisation that we use for 100 different
feelings and as many situations going through each others pockets is not like
us and flattery will get you somewhere and your happiness is just a chemical
A constant feeling you're being watched All your good intentions so clumsily botched A kiss sent down the telephone line can come out sounding like a bug getting
And grasshoppers fling erratic parabolas While you're drowning ants with your can of cola Can you take me with you when you go?
Separate the parts and give them titles Lungs are for songs and eyes are for feasting And butter's for a bee sting Can somebody please check my vitals?
