You're such a mystery
I just want to stand and stare
Nibble on your ear
And smell the ocean in your hair
(Ocean in your hair, ocean in your hair)
I know you damage me
You leave me tangled in a knot
But when you reappear
I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
Alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should sit down
No sense in cacheing us now
Yeah, I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
And bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
No icing you down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
We'll make love like a pair of black wizards
You free me from the past
You fucked the suburbs out of me
Oh well, those ugly days that made us so sick
They are just fossils now
We've learned the elevating trick
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
Alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should calm down
No sense in cacheing us now
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
Bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
Alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
No icing me down
The party's crashing us now
I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
And bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you, and just kiss you
Maybe I should calm down
No sense in cacheing us now
The party's crashing us now
