Standard (EADGBE)
Youll never hear this song
Youll never see the movie in my head
But you infest my sleep and your figure creeps
Through my walls and hums above my bed.
I know youre name and that youre photogenic and tall
But Ive never heard you talk
And theres something about you that stabs me right through.
Chorus
It isnt right
For me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do
(I cant find sleep) And it feels so wrong
(I breathe too deep) To sing this song
(Into the sky) But maybe (as I) (walk and sing)somehow
youll hear me (youll hear a song) and hum along
Youll hum long
Youll hum long
And Ive only seen you once
At your graduation
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
And I watched you move and breathe
And cry and it felt so wrong
REPEAT CHORUS
Maybe youd be kidnapped by pirates
And they would take you to their hideout
As pirates often do
But Id find the secret map
And I would vigilante-bush whack
Through the jungles of Peru
Just to save you and Id take you north to Mexico,
Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple,
Where wed camp singing nonsense songs in 12 bars to the jaguars, until youd
me, your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light,
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo, the smell of palm leaves, Id sleep
you, until the natives found us, but they would crown us king and queen,
And we could stay there, spend our daysthere, eating guava by the
and I could understand your views and you could fall in love with me.
SOLO [
]
And while the silly human race talks to droids in outer-space, we grow
and laugh about this song
And between the jungle and the stars, you sing nonsense songs in 12 bars
me and in my sleep I hum along.
Youll never hear this song
Youll never see the movie in my head...
