Lyrics

I cannot say 'oh sweetness'like he couldand
I cannot play a lullabylike it should
I'll give you all night movie marathonand a triple expresso so you can stay awakeit might be late - butit's never too late for that lovinmy sexy babe
I used to cry but now
I have to laughbecause she's got that tormentto a fine artsmart like a foxyand craf-ty-as-a-cati'm looking upas i'm lying on my backbite the beastif i want a big piece of the piebut she's taken the feastin the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fywhat's going on- it feels so rightwhen it seems so wronglike a plot hatchedin the sweet spot of that trap- ask what she's schemesshe say 'oh this and that'then she snaps like a camerain black with a flashputs the drum in the dramathe hand in the clapshe's a map with no bearingsattached - nosafety-in-this-matchfire you can't catchthen zap
I was struck by thatbolt before dawnthen by breakfast honeywe was signed and sworn
I'll give you all night movie marathonand a triple expresso so you can stay awakeit might be late - butit's never too late for that lovinmy sexy babesomething always telling me'save prayers before dawn'cos what happens when
I'm with youmakes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I'm worn out but
I'm beamingand it seems that we are dreamyas we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no gamebut it's played all the sameand
I love it evenif it makes me derangedit's like tears in the rainburning spears in my braincause me pain sometimesmake me drainedbut
I cannot complain- mad the ugly good and badhad some happy with my sadand some tricks in my bagwhen it's up run a mucklike a bull that just buckedwhen it's down it's a dragand you fight with no partner to tag- at times
I would dive in the seato escape from the risingand crashing maleadrink tea with a fat fishand find a golden keythen rise to the surfaceand open my babyand maybe she'd say 'we are crazy'the two of us together like melbourne weatherbe like balls in a maze seewe rolling along in obscuritybut when we meet in the middlesay mmm it's a treat
I'll give you all night movie marathonand a triple expresso so you can stay awake- it might be late butit's never too late for that lovinmy sexy babesomething always telling me'save your prayers before dawn'cos what happens when
I'm with youmakes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I'm worn out but
I'm beamingand it seems that we are dreamyas we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laughbut now
I have to crybecause today my baby tell methat it's time to say goodbyeask her 'why what did
I do?You and me we were so sly'then she sigh 'that's truewe were slinky through and throughbut it's sad and it's set
I get high then
I get depressedand
I guess when we're togetherit's that happy kind of stress'touching left right downkiss my finger
I reply'I can't deny you were the bestand by the best
I mean the mess you made
I must confess
I nevermet-a-more sexy maidthat smell like meso bless your wayward waysand loving craze and crazy daysand things you'de sayand looks you madeyou're not the queen of heartsyou're the queen of spadesand you'de take my breath awayany day that wayso anyway is this the end?
Is this the fifth act of the play?
I kissed her then
I turnedand was about to walk awaywhen
I sense a little tinglethat begin down from belowthen
I hear her with a whisper'you're the most gullible man
I know'
