Cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture
As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
So you swear you just saw a feathery woman
Carry a blindfolded man through the trees
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to Cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves So you swear you just saw a feathery woman Carry a blindfolded man through the trees Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under Oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over Surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults Explain Request ×
