Keeping my composure over coffee,
You talk about your monkey friends again.
Run around the table with your gossip,
Telling me who you've loved, where you've been.

Sleeping with my eyes wide open,
Drifting toward a happy tune.
You ask me where the hell I'm goin'
I say, "NOWHERE WITH YOU!"

I've been catching red
A bit too often
For my own good.
The innocence that
Shadows me
Makes you think we're understood.

So stop ---
Take a listen to the music.
Let's not ---
Forget how we can use it.

Walking out the door of frustration...
Just one glance; you slowly turn your head.
Though you hate the fact that its over,
It won't be the last time you lie in my bed!

I'm sorry that you got the notion
That you and I were so in love
And now that the door is closin'
You see who I really was.

I've been catching red
A bit too often
For my own good.
The innocence that
Shadows me
Makes you think we're understood.

So stop ---
Take a listen to the music.
Let's not ---
Forget how we can use it.
