Outside
I wanna peel off some lace tonight
And then I thought
That I got you
Like a careful capture
Your hug becomes a straitjacket now
Shook-up about it
You bring the night-believer
The wrong key
Always
Hollywood, this is my only thing
Are you still on their good side?
We saw you in colourful night clubs
Darling, well you could have warned us
That this would be your winning streak
Outside
And it occurs to me, we’ve lost the light
We shared a box in someones dream
‘Till the ponies arrive
We’re only wasting time
Which I know, I know something about
Shook-up about it
You bring the night-believer
The wrong key
Torn up without it
Nocturnal in-betweener
You walk free
So similar to your familiar
You whisper
Hollywood, this is my only thing
Are you still on their good side?
We missed you
I’m sure there’ll be re-runs
Darling, look at you in fine fur
How could you believe
That this would be your chance?
And I know you wanna make it
Yeah
And I know you’d never fake it
Outside
Set it up, the wolf I found
Lips say what to do
Wash your hands in the wishing well
Can you remember at all?
I would still know
Passing time with friends
I know they will never come back again
We don’t need a plan
Hours to go
