Lyrics

[00:28.413] Decided
[00:29.989] To sneak up away
[00:31.260] From your stomach
[00:33.238] And try your pulse
[00:34.857] And captured
[00:36.405] What seemed all
[00:37.293] Unknowing and candid
[00:39.389] But they suspected
[00:40.317] It was false
[00:47.870] She's playful
[00:49.505] The boring would
[00:50.488] Warn you be careful
[00:52.581] Of her brigade
[00:54.493] In order to tame
[00:56.453] This relentless marauder
[00:59.053] Move away from the parade
[01:00.621] And she was walking on the tables
[01:02.301] In the glass house
[01:04.390] Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
[01:07.533] Subtle in her method of seduction
[01:10.773] The twenty little tragedies begin
[01:26.695] And she would throw
[01:27.533] A feather boa in the road
[01:30.130] If she thought
[01:30.669] That it would set the scene
[01:33.412] Unfittingly dipped
[01:34.724] Into your companions
[01:36.718] Enlighten them to make you see
[01:39.582] And there's affection to rent
[01:42.351] The age of the understatement
[01:45.630] Before the attraction ferments
[01:49.814] Kiss me properly and pull me apart
[01:52.878] Affection to rent
[01:55.334] The age of the understatement
[01:58.608] Before this attraction ferments
[02:02.943] Kiss me properly and pull me apart
[02:06.157] Ah
[02:18.597] And my fingers scratch at my hair
[02:21.829] Before my mind can get too reckless
[02:25.085] The idea of seeing you here
[02:28.669] Is enough to make the sweat grow cold
[02:32.301] Oh
