How does that song go
the one with the curly lips
singing a song for me
an image of ecstasy
thrown on top of me
Where did that voice go
that laugh with burnt sienna, burnt sienna
giving eyes to me
shadowing lies could be
making it hard to see
Chorus: And it’s a mystery to me
why some things can’t be
Some songs are sung with a camel’s tongue
and it’s a mystery to me
How come you’ll never call again?
Pretending the meaning is real
faking interest and zeal
always hiding what you feel
Chorus
And it’s a mystery to me
why some things can’t be
Some lovers give love
like an unwanted shove
and it’s a mystery to me
