My Sister Grenadine - Snapshot Song lyrics

I fell asleep with your lipstick on You lay awake until the break of dawn What happened next oh I don't know Have you seen the first of snow You said you'd like to quit that silly game I said it feels like I need to entertain How could we go back to the start I guess they gentrified our hearts And where are the space ships when you need them the most And where are the clients with their ordinary clothes I found a ribbon in your hair You found some objects to repair I found a ribbon in your hair You had a few things to prepare And who counts the monsters in your cup of tea And who does the dishes in my memory How come we are always on the run Here on our island near the sun I wish that we had a square to dance upon You wish the neighbours would surely come back home They left the keys there by the door They left some groceries on the floor And what about my whispers on your answering machine And what about your poems for insurance companies I threw the garbage into the trees You put your arms around my knees You put your arms around my knees I closed your eyes we did not breathe You closed my eyes we did not breathe They closed their eyes we did not breathe
