Caught like a fish out of water
a hand in the fire, a heart on display
everyone sing hurray, 'cause the truth was revealed
and the fire was friendly
hanging around, passing time,
let the word be announced
that she sings like a bird, little girl in my hand
build a nest, come closer under the cover
pass through the park covered by the dark
walk like a man - if you can
head over heels 'til you're safe again
back at her place, open the gate
please don't let it be too late
the wind moves around, building maces, drawing a picture that no one will see, it's a sight for sore eyes
and sore eyes are all around me
well, come have a drink, let the afternoon vanish
we'll talk about old times and people we hate
'til the hour is late and we find we have wasted our last reserve
April & May, are you ok?
talk to me, say I don't have to go that way
pictures in frames - all misplaced - back in a haze
I swallow my tongue
please don't let the race be run
look at me girl and sing me a song
I'm longing for words 'cause mine are all gone
but we'll be all right, after all it's just a nightmare
April & May are you ok?
talk to me, say I don't have to go that way
pictures in frames - all misplaced
back at her place
open the gate
key in the lock
the door opens up
what was it you said?
a fever in your head?
enough is enough
let the music stop!
Why can't you just wake me up?
