Eddie Baby

The cameras captured all of the glances

And all of the chances we missed

We raged and we spun for all of the dancers

The song as it lasted was bliss

But now the years have eaten

The songs we believed in

And nothing is left but the sound

Of six billion people ignoring the magic we found

Oh, but I hear your voice. It calls me like the night

It's singing in each syllable I write

Oh Eddie, baby, won't you come to my arms tonight?

I beg and plead you, please succumb to my charms tonight

I give my heart

But you take it and you break it and you tear it apart

Oh Eddie, baby, won't you come to my arms

When hormones were raging

Whilst sweetly teenaging, we cackled at thoughts of decline

And every chord that the people

Ignored is preserved in my mind for all time

And while the years have clawed at us and tears

Have gnawed at us, the song in my head still resounds

And I hope that one day, dear friend, you will come around

Oh Eddy, baby, won't you come to my arms tonight?

I beg and plead you, please succumb to my charms tonight

I give my heart

But you take it and you break it and you tear it apart

Oh Eddy, baby, won't you come to my arms

So scream and shout. We're burning out like everyone

So face the crowd

Rage at thunderclouds. Just jump into the fire and run
