There were roman candles and Catherine wheels outside Inside, all was deadly quiet Corner cut, medium weight and I arrive late I caught you spelling baby names with sparklers on your patio And you didnt know, that Id been writing letters to other girls In shaky, shaky handwriting We swooned like 50s housewives Buzzing like a hive The room is spinning faster than a 45 And we come alive We come alive We come alive Well you were an octopus and I was an orangutan And everybody in there saw the way that we carried on But everyone who knows me, knows I make up all these stories We swooned like 50s housewives Buzzing like a hive The room is spinning faster than a 45 And we come alive We come alive We come alive We come alive We come alive We come alive
alive, swooned, 50, housewife, shaky
