lyrics
We went night swimming, me and her brother
She stopped at the villa digesting her dinner
Calamari supper, afloat on a red wine sea
Gave some doofus a crook look
Should have got a phrase book that covers hand-signals
Round here I think that they might carry pistols
Stop me if I’m wistful, shove a stick in my spokes
If I exist when I’m 90, I’ll still repeat the same jokes and anecdotes
Feeling empty inside, I eat when I’m not hungry and drink when I’m not dry
It can get out of hand like vegetation in Spring
A word not crossed but stored in your closet lingering
You don’t have to be prophet to foresee
Silent and frosty
Deliver information like a bee sting
Or just ignore it
I’m probably not up for the fight
Hiding on the backstairs
Afraid of the night
I’m probably not who you wished I would be
Short temper, short tongue
I lost my mystery
Sorrentino’s a hero, but I wouldn’t want to meet him
Life can chance in an instant, but it usual doesn’t
My cousins moved away, left me coughing from my stomach
The Consequences of Love left me without a compass
I’m sleepless and shallow
Meatless yet callow
Somehow draw a salary without creating casualties
Accidents aren’t always avoided by reference to past events
Concrete reinforced by steel and hidden secrets
I’m probably not up for the fight
Hiding on the backstairs
Afraid of the night
I’m probably not who you wished I would be
Short temper, short tongue
I lost my mystery
She stopped at the villa digesting her dinner
Calamari supper, afloat on a red wine sea
Gave some doofus a crook look
Should have got a phrase book that covers hand-signals
Round here I think that they might carry pistols
Stop me if I’m wistful, shove a stick in my spokes
If I exist when I’m 90, I’ll still repeat the same jokes and anecdotes
Feeling empty inside, I eat when I’m not hungry and drink when I’m not dry
It can get out of hand like vegetation in Spring
A word not crossed but stored in your closet lingering
You don’t have to be prophet to foresee
Silent and frosty
Deliver information like a bee sting
Or just ignore it
I’m probably not up for the fight
Hiding on the backstairs
Afraid of the night
I’m probably not who you wished I would be
Short temper, short tongue
I lost my mystery
Sorrentino’s a hero, but I wouldn’t want to meet him
Life can chance in an instant, but it usual doesn’t
My cousins moved away, left me coughing from my stomach
The Consequences of Love left me without a compass
I’m sleepless and shallow
Meatless yet callow
Somehow draw a salary without creating casualties
Accidents aren’t always avoided by reference to past events
Concrete reinforced by steel and hidden secrets
I’m probably not up for the fight
Hiding on the backstairs
Afraid of the night
I’m probably not who you wished I would be
Short temper, short tongue
I lost my mystery
