You'll never hear this song
|
You'll never see the movie in my head
|
But you infest my sleep, and your figure creeps
|
Through my walls and hums above my bed
|
I know your name, and that you're photogenic and tall
|
But I've never heard you talk
|
And there's something about you
|
That stabs me right through
|
|
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
|
Every night, but I do (I canA¡©t find sleep)
|
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
|
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
|
And hum along
|
You'll hum along, you'll hum along, you'll hum along
|
|
And I've only seen you once, at your graduation
|
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
|
And I watched you move and breathe and cry
|
And it felt so wrong
|
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
|
Every night, but I do (I canA¡©t find sleep)
|
And it feels so wrong (I breathe too deep), to sing this song (into the sky)
|
But maybe (as I walk and sing), somehow, you'll hear me (you'll hear a song)
|
And hum along
|
You'll hum along, you'll hum along, you'll hum along
|
|
Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates
|
And they would take you to their hideout
|
As pirates often do
|
But I'd find the secret map
|
And I would vigilante-bushwhack
|
Through the jungles of Peru
|
|
Just to save you and I'd take you north to Mexico
|
Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple
|
Where we'd camp singing nonsense songs in 12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd sense me
|
Your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light
|
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo, the smell of palm leaves, I'd sleep against you
|
Until the natives found us, but they would crown us king and queen
|
And we could stay there, spend our days there, eating guava by the sea
|
And I could understand your views and you could fall in love with me
|
|
[SOLO]
|
|
And while the silly human race talks to droids in outer-space
|
We grow old and laugh about this song
|
And between the jungle and the stars, you sing nonsense songs in 12 bars to me
|
And in my sleep I hum along
|
|
You'll never hear this song
|
You'll never see the movie in my head
|
