Lullaby

I cannot say ‘oh sweetness’ like he could

‘Cos I cannot play a lullaby like it should

I used to cry but now I have to laugh

Because she’s got that torment to a fine art

Smart like a foxy, and craf-ty-as-a-cat

I’m lookin up as I’m lyin’ on my back

Bite the beast if I want a big piece of the pie

But she’s taken the feast in the blink of an eye

I can-not-jus-ti-fy what’s going on

It feels so right when it seems so wrong

Like a plot hatched in the sweet spot of that trap

Ask what she’s schemes, she say ‘oh this and that’

Then she snaps like a camera in black with a flash

Puts the drum in drama, and the hand in the clap

She’s a map with no bearings attached – no

Safety-in-this-match, fire you can’t catch

Then zap I was struck by that bolt before dawn

Then by breakfast honey we was signed and sworn

CHORUS:

I’ll give you all night movie marathon

And a triple espresso so you can stay awake

It might be late – but it’s never too late for that lovin’ my sexy babe

Something always telling me ‘ save your prayers before dawn’

Cos what happens when I’m with you makes me shake my head then smile and yawn

I’m worn out but I’m beaming, and it seems that we are dreamy

As we head out through that strange old morning door

This game is no game but it’s played all the same

And I love it even if it makes me deranged

It’s like tears in the rain, burning spears in my brain

Cause me pain sometimes make me drained

But I cannot complain

– mad the ugly good and bad

Had some happy with my sad and some tricks in my bag

When it’s run amok like a bull that just bucked

When it’s down it’s a drag and you fight with no partner to tag

– At times I would dive in the sea to escapr from the rising and crashing malea

Drink tea with a fat fish and find a golden key

Then rise to the surface and open my baby

And maybe she’d say ‘we are crazy’ the two of us together like Melbourne weather

Be like balls in a maze see we rolling along in obcurity

But when we meet in the middle say mmm it’s a treat

CHORUS:

Dramatically, ecstatically, indefatigably, sex-o-matically

CHORUS:

She give me…
