Folie à Deux

Reading on the bus was not for me

I couldn’t focus on the things I meant to see

So took a walk around the block

Filled my head with what you said

Now those faces breathe inside me on my way

Come on the lights, I thought that we were friends

Now I’m sitting here toe-tapping every bend

Took so long to pick my dress

That boy did I almost forget

That I needed this to get me through the day

It’s just another catch to make but no one knows their names

It’s just another show to play, swings through the roof again

The rhythm’s looping round and round our heads

And the carriage shakes in time with every single word we’ve said

The parson smiles with glee

On the calm of this here green

Sun is shining, fire’s burning, it’s serene

I tell you I don’t care what they may say

There’s no time to sit around in here and hope and beg and pray

Do you think they’ll celebrate us

Do you think they’ll give a damn

Show the most of all you have and all you can

I know it’s wrong but shall we take this stop

Then at least we might leave here with a pocketful of change

And if we take our chances

Maybe we can run away

Pack our bags and feel the breeze of the highway

It’s getting round my head

Frantic words that have been said

They’ll surround my every move

The more I think about it

I wonder, what if we embrace it

Take the time to guide them through

And if we steal a friend or two

Who knows what we may do to our circus

Found our purpose

It’s our way
