Lullaby

I cannot say ´oh sweetness´
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should
I´ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it´s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
I used to cry but now I have to laugh
because she´s got that torment
to a fine art
smart like a foxy
and craf-ty-as-a-cat
i´m looking up
as i´m lying on my back
bite the beast
if i want a big piece of the pie
but she´s taken the feast
in the blink of an eye
I can-not-jus-ti-fy
what´s going on
- it feels so right
when it seems so wrong
like a plot hatched
in the sweet spot of that trap
- ask what she´s schemes
she say ´oh this and that´
then she snaps like a camera
in black with a flash
puts the drum in the drama
the hand in the clap
she´s a map with no bearings
attached - no
safety-in-this-match
fire you can´t catch
then zap I was struck by that
bolt before dawn
then by breakfast honey
we was signed and sworn
I´ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it´s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
´save prayers before dawn´
cos what happens when I´m with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I´m worn out but I´m beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
This game is no game
but it´s played all the same
and I love it even
if it makes me deranged
it´s like tears in the rain
burning spears in my brain
cause me pain sometimes
make me drained
but I cannot complain
- mad the ugly good and bad
had some happy with my sad
and some tricks in my bag
when it´s up run a muck
like a bull that just bucked
when it´s down it´s a drag
and you fight with no partner to tag
- at times I would dive in the sea
to escape from the rising
and crashing malea
drink tea with a fat fish
and find a golden key
then rise to the surface
and open my baby
and maybe she´d say ´we are crazy´
the two of us together like melbourne weather
be like balls in a maze see
we rolling along in obscurity
but when we meet in the middle
say mmm it´s a treat
I´ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
- it might be late but
it´s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
something always telling me
´save your prayers before dawn´
cos what happens when I´m with you
makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I´m worn out but I´m beaming
and it seems that we are dreamy
as we head out through that strange old morning door
I used to laugh
but now I have to cry
because today my baby tell me
that it´s time to say goodbye
ask her ´why what did I do?
You and me we were so sly´
then she sigh ´that´s true
we were slinky through and through
but it´s sad and it´s set
I get high then I get depressed
and I guess when we´re together
it´s that happy kind of stress´
touching left right down
kiss my finger I reply
´I can´t deny you were the best
and by the best I mean the mess you made
I must confess I never
met-a-more sexy maid
that smell like me
so bless your wayward ways
and loving craze and crazy days
and things you´de say
and looks you made
you´re not the queen of hearts
you´re the queen of spades
and you´de take my breath away
any day that way
so anyway is this the end?
Is this the fifth act of the play?
I kissed her then I turned
and was about to walk away
when I sense a little tingle
that begin down from below
then I hear her with a whisper
´you´re the most gullible man I know´
like he could
and I cannot play a lullaby
like it should
I´ll give you all night movie marathon
and a triple expresso so you can stay awake
it might be late - but
it´s never too late for that lovin
my sexy babe
