Emma's party
Made you nervous
You were partly
Under influence of beer and fools
And fear of solitude
Take your hand down
From your mouth now
No-one's going to
Laugh at you at least not to your face
Unless you run away
I know a girls who wants to be with you
I know a girl who loves the things you do
She's got a sexy alter-ego wrapped in tin foil in her pocket
It might turn her into Venus or it might just make her violent.
Push your hair back
From your face now
'Cause you know you're
Most ingenious on days like these
You're lovely and you're free
Every glance is utter poetry
And your chance is
Now or so it seems
It's all so smooth
And beautiful
And cruel
I know a boy who wants to be with you
I know a boy who love the things you do
He's got a sexy way of meaning much more than he is saying
And his eyes stay you much longer than anyone he's seeing.
And all you really want is to
Be anywhere but here
Just anywhere as long as you're not there.
I know a girl who wants to be with you
I know a girl who love the things you do
She'll take your love as an absolutely permanent fact
So she might become just a little unstable
When you ask for it back.
