  She  says it helps with the lights  out
 Her rabid  glow is like braille to the night.
  She  swears I'm a slave to the details
 But if your life  is such a big joke,  why should I care?
 The clock  is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.
 So that you  two can take some time,
 Teach each other to reciprocate.
She  feels that my sentimental side  should be held with kid  gloves
 But she  doesn't know that I  left my urge in the icebox
She  swears  I'm just prey to the female,
 Well then hook  me up and throw me,
 Baby cakes,  'cause I like to get hooked.
 The clock  is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight.
 All the people  that you've loved
 They're all bound to leave some keepsakes.
 I've been swinging  all the time,
 Think it's time to learn your way.
 Picture you  and me together in the jungle it would be ok.
 I'll bring  you when my lifeboat  sails through the night
 That is supposing  that you  don't sleep  tonight
 It's like learning a new a language
 Helps me catch up on my mime
 If you don't bring up those lonely  parts
 This could be a good time
 It's like learning a new language
 You come here to me
 We'll collect those lonely  parts and set them down
 You come here to me
  ]
She  says brief  things, her love's  a pony
 My love's  subliminal
She  says brief  things, her love's  a pony
 My love's  subliminal
