Fingermouse

running will kill you but i won't
the girl with her top on back to front
she says the moon is a dream
that the planet forgot
says it just want to be near you.
and there's a moon on my fingernail
gather round
and no you can't blame the architects
coloured sand
i know it's easier to shrug
than understand
this is the only only only
life that we're living,
the only one that we're given.

some eyes are windows
some are doors.
one day i'll climb out of mine
and climb in through yours.
watch as they open and shut
as they lock up for the night
as they unlock in the morning.
and there's a moon on my fingernail
gather round
and no you can't blame the architects
coloured sand
i know it's easier to shrug
than understand
this is the only only lonely
life that we're living,
the only one that we're given.
and we are mapping the future
one foot in from of the other.

you.you in every sunrise smile.
you and all the shit you bring home.
you don't need to know but
there's a golden bear
it's strong arms surrounding you
and i won't ever let go.
all you need to know is
this will do.
yes this love will do.

cos there's a moon on my fingernail
gather round
and no you can't blame the architects
coloured sand
i know it's easier to shrug
than understand
this is the only only only
life that we're living,
the only one that we're given.
and we are mapping the future
one foot in from of the other.
the only life that we're living
so clap your hands cos you're winning
striding out into the future
just say the word and i'll race you home.
just say it.
cos this will do.
yes this love will do.
this love will do.
