Lyrics

It's a holiday. Nothing more to say.
Make your way to the free buffet.
House or home, that problem with my name.
Where you are, it's my favourite flavour.
Choked on smell, when did I lose my taste?

Where did he go? Left me in this part alone.
We'll be making babies in the sand.
We'll be making pottery with our hands (that kind of rich).
Why am I up here? Cut my fingers on the atmosphere.
You must have witnessed carnage at the dawn -
my day had started, and you could only yawn -
the sky was dancing.

Kill me for closure? It's already over.
You make me closer, put your head on my shoulder
wonder of wonders. Monkey in the tree.
Before you let your love in find that it wipes it feet.

You see? Got pink on your breath.
Turn back - now descend the steps.
Someone you're trying to forget?
Crosslegged? Knees go past my head.
Most of us live like a princess.
