I hear music in color
I see it in the air
And all the sisters and brothers
I see them there
When all the lights go out all over town
And all the pretty fireworks fall down
I'm waiting for a wake up call, I don't try to sleep
I watch fluorescent second hand creep
You know I love another
Does it bother you?
Do you think that one love
Is good enough for two?
The pure pain of jealousy, a piercing fear
Pa**ed right through her soul like a spear
We all have deeply hidden chords someone else must strike
To hear the very ringing of the psyche
I hear you split up with your boyfriend
And he seemed unconcerned
But love's a fickle fortune, babe
And every penny must be earned
We're astronauts, we're angels, but we're never coming down
For all the gods who pa**ed us by have drowned
The boogaloo of modern verse dancing in her mind
Still very much the nervous kind
Do you like this kind of party?
I don't know why I came
They take winning so seriously
But never play the game
I can smell the powder of your make up, your perfume
Sense you when you're in another room
Are they still talking about furniture? About one or other chair?
I can only see you sitting there
