lyrics

Walking by, cold look in the eye (Ah...)
Razor fleets high up in the sky (Ah...)
Holding up a light for the world (Ah...)
Warm the hands of the boys and girls (Ah...)

Tell me about the birds and the bees (doo-doo-doo...)
But maybe leave out all the bits that offend me.
I did much wrong but I already told you (doo-doo-doo...)
Believe what I did without any dues.

How do you do now, honey?
I never realised how sweet the bitter sting of life can be
for someone like me
And I know...

I couldn't read the signs when I thought it all seemed so sublime.
Well, I said, "Hey, darling, how you doing today?"
You said, "Fine, now can you go away?"
Heartache I can take.
Did the world ever seem more out of place
than the times you feel such happiness?
I know it's a feeling, one hell of a feeling.
Take it from the top and roll it away -
what did you want to do today?
Commonplace is not your name.
In fact, it's more've a kind of varied place,
so yeah, I hope you know it.
Saw each other yesterday but you didn't show it, uh-huh.
Oh, yeah!
You were looking great, that makes me feel great, yeah.

Blood boils while the day goes by (Ah...)
Time and again, it ain't no surprise.

Your soul, it runs into the dry lands (doo-doo-doo...)
But don't worry, I'm here for you, my friends.

How'd you feel now, honey?
I always realise how poignant and timeless friends can be
for someone like me.
I dunno...

I couldn't read the signs when I thought it all seemed so sublime.
Well, I said, "Hey, darling, how you doing today?"
You said, "Fine, now can you go away?"
Heartache I can take.
Did the world ever seem more out of place
than the times you feel such happiness?
I know it's a feeling, one hell of a feeling.
Take it from the top and roll it away -
what did you want to do today?
Well, Commonplace is not your name.
In fact, it's more've a kind of varied place,
so yeah, I hope you know it.
Saw each other yesterday but you didn't show it, uh-huh.
Oh, yeah!
You were looking great, that makes me feel great, yeah.
