As the second when you tried to be kind
Stumbling over the telephone ringing
Looking for your voice on the line
There was an orange lipped girl with her knees crossed
Sitting on the carpeted coal
She was holding onto the money
And I was doing what I was told
There was an undercover cop
Parked right across the road
You step away from the window
But you better move slow
And yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear
And I know he can't see me
Or doesn't even care
And I hate pretending I'm like you
I hate pretending I'm like you
So let's cut out the fire with scars
Hanging all the lions on the floors
Searching through the piles of dust
Filling all the pockets with coal
There was an undercover cop
Parked right across the road
Step away from the window
But you better move slow
And yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear
And I know he can't see me
Or doesn't even care
And this just what it was like
And for one kiss
Oh there's a moment of fame
'Cause I was just along for the ride
Do you believe him?
Love in the art of persuasion
There was an undercover cop
Parked right across the road
He's looking right at me
And I think we'd better go
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm switching off the light
And we look like we just got here
We've been here all night, alright
I never thought a moment spoke so well As the second when you tried to be kind Stumbling over the telephone ringing Looking for your voice on the line There was an orange lipped girl with her knees crossed Sitting on the carpeted coal She was holding onto the money And I was doing what I was told There was an undercover cop Parked right across the road You step away from the window But you better move slow And yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear And I know he can't see me Or doesn't even care And I hate pretending I'm like you I hate pretending I'm like you So let's cut out the fire with scars Hanging all the lions on the floors Searching through the piles of dust Filling all the pockets with coal There was an undercover cop Parked right across the road Step away from the window But you better move slow And yeah, I was only there for a minute, I swear And I know he can't see me Or doesn't even care And this just what it was like And for one kiss Oh there's a moment of fame 'Cause I was just along for the ride Do you believe him? Love in the art of persuasion There was an undercover cop Parked right across the road He's looking right at me And I think we'd better go And I'm headed for the door And I'm switching off the light And we look like we just got here We've been here all night, alright Explain Request ×
