She's the girl with the long scarf flowing, Corduroy coat and lips so loving Nights got shorter and her dreams got longer, So strange Has a bird upon her shoulder Used to hear it when I got to hold her I don't know if that bird song died Kill the lights, 'cause we're getting older Watch the news and drink more water She likes a man with his trousers shorter I'm in trouble with a poet's daughter Found a hole and it's letting in water She says love is a young man's game Close your eyes, we might just make it Pretty soon you'll be proud to fake it Drink up, baby, and I'll take you home Boy at the bus stop shouting English dreams of English louting I hope he's happy when the world stops hurting Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days, Stares at the stars and floats away Watch the news and drink more water I'm in trouble with somebody's daughter She likes a man with his trousers shorter Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days Stares at the stars and floats away
