Gotta get this off my chest
Do what the imp of the perverse seems to suggest
The music stops whisper under my breath
Hold me close, my love I must confess
You and I have no chance of living
Like people that we all know
Beneath the surface everyday
Imagine all the things nobody will ever say
I’m spoiled for choice here next to you
That fades away
So kiss goodbye a life worth living
Like people that we all know
Don’t know where we get the nerve
To rest our dreams upon the spawn of god’s green earth
Again, the music plays a song that we’ve both heard
Hold me close, my love and rest assured
When you close your eyes then you’ll be living
Like people that we all know
