I'm listening to: Nancy Sinatra - Sugartown

You don't wanna hurt me, but see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder, there is thunder in our hearts


It's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down
If I gave you my number
Would it still be the same, if I saved you from drowning?


Deadbeat sweetheartbeat


You know you can have it if you want to
I'll find you unrelated, cultivated
When you wake up incubated in me
You're free to leave, if you knew it all along


I'll make my way across the frozen sea, beyond the blank horizon
Where I can forget you and me and get a decent night's sleep
Well here I am; don't know how to say this
Only thing I know is awkward silence
Your eyelids close when you're around me, to shut me out


Oh, when your heart's on fire, 
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes


I wake, alone, 
In a woman's room I hardly know
I wake, alone, 
Pretend that I am finally home


I need you so much closer


Oh dear, can't you see? 
It's them it's not me
We're not enemies; 
We just disagree
We all disagree, I think we should disagree, yeah


Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes


I saw the western coast
I saw the hospital nurse the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lovers' tryst were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows


Just 'cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.


And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine


I'm the hero of this story
Don't need to be saved


Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there


'Cause I'm in 
Shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo 
Sugartown
