The Age of the Understatement
|
|
Decided to sneak off away from your stomach and try your pulse
|
They captured what seemed all unknowing and candid but they suspected it
|
Was false
|
|
She's playful,
|
The boring would warn you
|
Be careful of her brigade
|
In order to tame this relentless marauder move away from the parade
|
She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse,
|
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind,
|
Subtle in her method of seduction,
|
Twenty little tragedies begin
|
|
And she would throw her feather-boa in the road,
|
If she thought that it would set the scene,
|
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
|
Enlightened them to make you seeth
|
|
There's affection to rent,
|
The age of the understatement
|
Before the attraction ferments
|
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
|
|
My fingers scratch at my hair before my mind can get too reckless.
|
The idea of seeing you here is enough to make the sweat go cold.
