  • She says
    It helps with the lights out
    Her rabid glow
    Is like braille to the night
    She swears
    I'm a slave to the details
    But if your life is such a big joke
    Why should I care?

    The clock is set for nine
    But you know you're gonna make it eight
    So that you two can take some time
    Teach each other to reciprocate

    She feels that my sentimental side
    Should be held with kids gloves
    But she doesn't know
    That I left my urge in the icebox

    She swears
    I'm just prey for the female
    Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes
    'Cause I like to get hooked

    The clock is set for nine
    But you know you're gonna make it eight
    All the people that you've loved
    They're all bound to leave some keepsakes

    I've been swinging all the time
    Think it's time I learned your way
    I picture you and me together
    In the jungle it will be okay

    I'll bring you when my lifeboat
    Sails through the night
    That is supposing that
    You don't sleep tonight

    It's like learning a new language
    Helps me catch up on my mind
    If you don't bring up those lonely parts
    This could be a good time

    It's like learning a new language
    You come here to me
    We'll collect those lonely parts
    And set them down
    You come here to me

    She says brief things
    Her love's a pony
    My love's subliminal

    She says brief things
    Her love's a pony
    My love's subliminal Writer/s: Carlos Andres Dengler, Daniel Alexander Kessler, Paul Julian Banks, Samuel J Fogarino
