I know what you want

The magpies have come

If you know me so well, then

Tell me which hand i use

Make them go

Make it go

Saw her there in a restaurant

Poppy, don't go

I know your mother is a good one

But poppy, don't go

I'll take you home

Show me the things i've been missing

Show me the ways i forgot to be speaking

Show me the ways to get back to the garden

Show me the ways to get around the get around

Show me the ways to button up

Buttons that have forgotten they're buttons

Well, we can't have that forgetting that

Girls, girls

What have we done?

What have we done to ourselves?

Yes

Driving on the vine

Over clothes lines

But officer, i saw the sign

Thought i'd been through this in 1919

Counting the tears of ten thousand men

And gathered them all

But my feet are slipping

There's something we left on the windowsill

There's something we left

Yes

We'll see how brave you are

We'll see how fast you'll be running

We'll see how brave you are

Yes, Anastasia

And all your dollies have friends

Thought she deserved no less than she'd give

Well, happy birthday

Her blood's on my hands

It's kind of a shame

'cause i did like that dress

It's funny the things that you find in the rain

The things that you find

Yes

In the mall and in the date-mines

In the knot still in her hair

On the bus

I'm on my way down

On my way down

All the girls seem to be there

We'll see how brave you are

Oh, yes

We'll see how fast you'll be running

We'll see how brave you are

We'll see

We'll see how brave you are

Oh, yes

We'll see how fast you'll be running

We'll see how brave you are

Yes, Anastasia

Come along now, little darling

Come along now with me

Come along now, little darling

We'll see how brave you are
