Decided 
To sneak off away from your stomach 
And try your pulse 
They captured 
What seemed all unknowing and candid 
But they suspected it was false 
  She's playful 
The boring would warn you, be careful 
Of her brigade 
In order 
To tame this relentless marauder 
Move away from the parade 
She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse 
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind 
Subtle in her method of seduction 
Twenty little tragedies begin 
  And she would throw her feather-boa in the road 
If she thought that it would set the scene 
Unfittingly dipped into your companions 
Enlightened them to make you seethe 
And there's affection to rent 
The age of the understatement 
Before the attraction ferments 
Kiss me properly and pull me apart 
Affection to rent 
The age of the understatement 
Before this attraction ferments 
Kiss me properly and pull me apart 
  And my fingers scratch at my hair 
Before my mind can get too reckless 
The idea of seeing you here 
Is enough to make the sweat go cold
