Take A Rest

know my way around
I have found a map to take me there
I know you'd like to come along, won't take long
Spend all day sitting round, riding city buses into town
But oh, you can't move standing still
If you want some time apart then take a rest
If you want some piece of mind then mum knows best
You put your luggage down
And relise that you're lying on the ground
With all the people looking round, upside down
You kiss your wife goodnight
She tastes just like dreams and fever
Oh, you know you lost your way again
If you want some time apart, then take a rest
If you want some piece of mind then mum knows best
If you want some privacy then shut the door
If you're not quite satisfied then eat some more
There's nothing underneath your bed
Don't believe what your friend said
Go to heaven when you're dead
There's nothing underneath your bed
Don't believe what your friend said
Go to heaven when you're dead
