Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh my God
[Verse 2]
You can go out dancin'
And I'll write about you, dancin' without you
And I'll shed a tear between my legs
[Verse 3]
When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs
[Verse 4]
Though we live in the same city
(Though we live in the same city)
You live in another state far away from me
(You live in another state far)
And all of my unfaded charms (Charm)
[Verse 5]
But when the rocket ships all fall
(All fall)
And the bridges, they all buckle
(All buckle)
And everybody's packin' up their station wagons
There's a number you can call
(You can call)
Like a breast that you can suckle
(You can suckle)
And we quietly will exit as it all is happenin' again
[Verse 6]
I'm afraid of one thing
Will I walk away from love knowing nothin'
Wearin' my heart between my legs
[Verse 7]
But when I know you're naked
(But when I know you're naked)
Lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
(Lying on the bed while I'm at)
All I can say is I can't fake it
(All I can say is I can't fake it)
[Verse 8]
When the rocket ships all fall
(All fall)
And the bridges, they all buckle
(All buckle)
And everybody's packin' up their station wagons
There's a number you can call
(You can call)
Like a breast that you can suckle
(You can suckle)
And we quietly will exit as it all is happenin' again
[Verse 9]
'Cause there's a river runnin' underground
Underneath the town, towards the sea
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
[Verse 10]
(There is a river running underground)
(Underneath the town, towards the sea)
(That only I know all about)
(On which from this city we can flee)
On which from this city we can flee
(We can flee)
