lyrics

I lie on a sofa awake
It’s what you said last night
You’d like us on top of a cake
But you won’t let me take a bite

Flowers arriving in fleets
Can’t we talk about this
Why let the state in our sheets
Can’t we do without it

Well I don’t mean to wind you up
But I’d like to slow it down
How do I remain a pup
If you put me in a gown

What’s it got to do with you
What’s it got to do with me
How could I lose control
When you’re driving from the backseat

What’s it got to do with you
What’s it got to do with me
How could I lose control
When you’re driving from the backseat

Corners begin to repeat
I think we’re getting lost
We walked to the end of the street
But we were bitten by the frost

So if you have to thaw me out
You can put me in a pail
Can we take another route
I don’t want to wear a veil

What’s it got to do with you
What’s it got to do with me
How could I lose control
When you’re driving from the backseat

I’ll wait in the lobby for someone to show
And if they don’t come I will know where to go
The bodies are lined up outside in the hall
I don’t want to decay in a mall

If everything you say is true
Then why would I disagree
How could I lose control
