The Posies Follow

You tried to kiss me through the window
I try to settle for the taste of touching glass
Over the sound of answering machines

Because I love the way your voice says
It's gonna get back to me someday
As I brace my knees
You hold me down with your eyes

And someday I'll try, close both my eyes
We'll swim in circles in the blue light
It's gonna be the best day of my life
And oh my God, you'll never be this beautiful in front of me

Beauty needs an animal to breed
Baby, you'll be alright as long as I'm not
So do a dance in the dark
Sharpen your teeth and bite as hard as you want

And someday I'll try, close both my eyes
We swim in circles in the blue light
And I just want to slip away into the sky under the sea
Blowing kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean

This is gonna be the best day of my life
A celebration of an ending
Come on

And do you run and trust your tongue
Or did you bury the taste?
And does this feeling seem real
Or is it all on me?

And did you call me last night
Just 'cause you couldn't get laid?
Ladies and gentlemen
I introduce the selfish machine

Do you think you're the only one
Who feeds?
Do you think you're the only one
Who feeds?
Do you think you're the only one
Who feeds off this machine?

And someday I'll try, close both my eyes
I'll be your breath if you can be mine
And I just want to slip away into the sky under the sea
Blowing kisses underwater as we walk into the ocean

Oh, no, oh, no
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
And do you see me at all under the skylight?
And do you see me at all

You tried to kiss me through the window
I try to settle for the taste of touching glass
