Japanese whispers

Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo



Let me take your hand

I'm shaking like milk

Turning

Turning blue

All over the windows and the floors

Fires outside in the sky

Look as perfect as cats

The two of us

Together again

But it's just the same

A stupid game



But I don't care if you don't

And I don't feel if you don't

And I don't want it if you don't

And I won't say it

If you won't say it first



You think you're tired now

But wait until three

Laughing at the Christmas lights

You remember from December

All of this then back again

Another girl

Another name

Stay alive but stay the same

It's just the same

A stupid game



But I don't care if you don't

And I don't feel if you don't

And I don't want it if you don't

And I won't say it

If you won't say it first



You can't even see now

So you ask me the way

You wonder if it's real

Because it couldn't be rain

Through the right doorway

And into the white room

It used to be the dust that would lay here

When I came here alone



Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Let's go to bed

You're too far away

Too far away to touch

And this mother's love inside me

Hurts too much

Prettily waving

Playing on the sand

Dreaming of everything

Dancing

Dancing in our hands

Dancing

Dancing



Dizzy dizzy dizzy

As I speak

Like a tumbling cat

I watch in fascination

Like a vampire bat

Don't do it don't do it

Don't do it don't do it

Don't give it away

We'll use it up tomorrow

If we don't use it today



Rest your head

Oh just put it outside

All wrapped up in ribbons

The night

The dream

The time love died



We pushed it in our mouths

Pushed it deep inside

All wrapped up in ribbons

The night

The dream

The time

Love died

I remember the time that you rained all night

The queen of Siam in my arms

Remember the time that the islands sank

But nobody opened their eyes



Remember that time that the trees fell down

The wood crashing through the wall

Remember the sound that could wake the dead

But nobody woke up at all



Somebody died for this

Somebody died for just one kiss



Remember the time that the sky went black

We waited alone on the sands

Remember the taste of the raging sea

But nobody held out their hands



Somebody died for this

Somebody died

For just one kiss



Just one kiss

Just one kiss

I love it all

These games we play

I close my eyes

You run away

I'm sure I asked you to stay

But now you're gone

And so I feel the grey

Pulse in my head

I turn off the lights and crawl into bed

I try to think of sunshine

But my body goes wet

With the first crash of thunder



I don't think I can know

Anyone but you dear

That's for sure



When it gets to four

It's my turn to go

Oh the kiss

So alcoholic and slow

Arranging me for Saturday

I thought you would know

That I always sleep

Alone



I don't think I can know

Anyone but you

Dear

That's for sure



The upstairs room is cool and bright

We can go up there in summer

And dance all night



Your sister started talking at a minute after ten

So everyone jumped up

And then fell over again

In April you can join them

And stare at me

At the ghost from your past...

I called you after midnight

Then ran until my heart burst

I passed the howling woman

And stood outside your door



We walked around the lake

And woke up in the rain

And everyone turned over

Troubled in their dreams again



Visiting time is over

And so we walk away

And both play dead then cry out loud

Why we always cry this way?



I kissed you in the water

And made your dry lips sing

I saw you look

Like a Japanese baby

In an instant I remembered everything



I called you after midnight

Then ran until my heart burst

I passed the howling woman

And stood outside your door



I kissed you in the water

And made your dry lips sing

I saw you look

Like a Japanese baby

In an instant I remembered everything

It was only yesterday

Waving arms across the street

Your white face left me blue

How can I say all the things

I have to say to you

Oh all the people here

All look the same

The little time I spend with you

We drink each other dry



Mammnnarghaassstmmetc

Speak my language



It was only yesterday

My eyes touched yours across the street

We cut the words

And waved goodbye

And dropped off the edge of the world



Mammnnarghaassstmmetc

Speak my language

Today there was a tragedy

Underneath the bridge

A man walked

Cold and blue

Into La Ment

The sky coloured perfect

As the man slipped away

Waving with a last vanilla smile



Somewhere at a table

Two drowned fools

Smoking

Drinking water as they talked

Of how they loved our lady

And oh the smell as candles die



One more ice cream river body

Flowed underneath the bridge

Underneath the bridge

We move like cagey tigers

We couldn't get closer than this

The way we walk

The way we talk

The way we stalk

The way we kiss

We slip through the streets

While everyone sleeps

Getting bigger and sleeker

And wider and brighter

We bite and scratch and scream all night

Let's go and

Throw all the songs we know



Into the sea

You and me

All these years and no one heard

I'll show you in spring

It's a treacherous thing

We missed you hissed the lovecats



We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully

Wonderfully pretty

Oh you know that I'd do anything for you

We should have each other to tea huh?

We should have each other with cream

Then curl up by the fire

And sleep for awhile

It's the grooviest thing

It's the perfect dream



Hand in hand

Is the only way to land

And always the right way round

Not broken in pieces

Like hated little meeces

How could we miss

Someone as dumb as this



I love you ... let's go

Oh ... solid gone ...

How could we miss someone as dumb

As this?
