Bain Mattox – Peripheral People lyrics

(Do you want to shine?)

Excuse me sir, excuse me ma'am
Pardon me kin, welcome family and friends
It's so nice to feel you
It's like I can see you there
The outline of your face, your skin, your stance, your hair
And damn, you give me chills
You startled my sleep, my eat, my walk, my talk
Just all around my being

No, no, no
Do you want to shine?
I say yes like the sun, like the sun
No, no, no
Do you want to shine?
Like the sun, like the sun

I am dying to see you
Much like you've died to see me
What's it like to be you?
To be bathed in the sun it seems
