lyrics

Here comes the constant lover
Here comes a better offer
They are the new forever
They are what God delivers
There’s no competing pressure
There’s no improving measure
She won’t admit she started
She won’t admit his heart in
Don’t say he didn’t warn her
Don’t say he didn’t harm her
Wait for the light to lighten
Wait for the mood to brighten
Sign for the rest of wonder
Sign for and then go under
Stand up and say their happy
Stand up and contradict me
Will they confess the failure
Will they taste bitter flavour
It’s just a baby crying
It’s just the why they’re sighing
Stop for the best of both worlds
Stop for the go go go girls
For them a quiet scandal
For them what they can handle
Bring them the speed of fire
Bring them the blunt desire
Face up to no affection
Face up to lost connection
There goes eternal measure
There go the easy pleasures
They got the sound convincing
They got the woman singing
Play what comes easy to you
Play what you really have to
Sit down till you recover
Sit down the time is over
