You know the way my blood runs
'Cause darling you're the only one
Can you and I go somewhere
Go somewhere we can be alone
Lie in like john and yoko
Or fake our deaths and leave
Am I tripping are you with me
'Cause darling you're the only one
The world is going mad, you and I can hide away
I can't stand the tv screen, turn it off, pull the plug they can try they won't find us
Slow down your heart beat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
Cause we can find our own way
You got me hiding, taking cover
Play dead, play dead with me
We'll stock up on some rations
So we don't have to leave this room
Out there don't care what happens
As long as I'm in here with you
'Cause the world is going mad, you and I can hide away
I can't stand the tv screen, turn it off, pull the plug they can try they won't find us
Slow down your heart beat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
Cause we can find our own way
You got me hiding, taking cover
Play dead, play dead with me
And when it all goes quiet
We'll walk outside into the sun
Breathe in a little silence
Has everybody else gone numb
So slow down your heart beat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
Slow down your heart beat
Close your eyes and don't speak
Lay with my body
Play dead, play dead with me
No need to escape
Cause we can find our own way
You got me hiding, taking cover
Play dead, play dead with me
