Danger blooms like a flower of needles, and the pain is so easy to take.
But each sitting on this fence is the hardest choice I've ever had a reason to make.
The sweetest scent at the edge of this nightmare beckons me like an idiot test.
It's lucky years have been added to my bones dear, it's lucky I can tell you 'I know best'.
Oh it's always the same, all this luck and love, I cannot believe.
I don't wanna go now, I don't wanna go later, I don't wanna leave.
She's asking me to sit down in such a pretty voice, oh I cannot breathe.
'Cos true lovers meet up in the day, they don't need the drugs and the moon to blame.
This night drifts easily like a cruise ship giving everything that's needed for two.
Each step is like we're skipping in tandem, each word arrives on a sugared spoon.
This never happens when the result is forgivable, you have to plan and re-arrange.
Fate has no love, it is cruel and unguided, it has no honour and its code is strange.
Oh it's always the same, all this luck and love I cannot believe.
I don't wanna go now, I don't wanna go later, I don't wanna leave.
She's asking me to sit down in such a pretty voice, oh I cannot breathe.
Assuming love is a public trait, they don't know the drugs and the moon are to blame.
