Madeline and nine

All my life I´ve been slow and senseless
Not struck dumb, I´m just dumb that´s all
But I can give you the constellations
Lay down here and we´ll count them all
Madeline, Madeline and nine
Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriend´s gone
Slave to the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack
This flame is feeling fine
Give my eyes just for your intentions
Risk my back to impress you now
I´m so joyful that I have found you
All´s I need´s is to see you now
Slain by the words I lack
My world is bursting sappy music and
With the face so sad I long to make you mine
Not struck dumb, I´m just dumb that´s all
But I can give you the constellations
Lay down here and we´ll count them all
Madeline, Madeline and nine
Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriend´s gone
Slave to the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack
This flame is feeling fine
Give my eyes just for your intentions
Risk my back to impress you now
I´m so joyful that I have found you
All´s I need´s is to see you now
Slain by the words I lack
My world is bursting sappy music and
With the face so sad I long to make you mine
