Caught like a fish out of water   a hand in the fire, a heart on display   everyone sing hurray, ‘cause the truth was revealed   and the fire was friendly hanging around, passing time,   let the word be announced   that she sings like a bird, little girl in my hand   build a nest, come closer under the cover   pass through the park covered by the dark   walk like a man - if you can   head over heels ‘til you’re safe again   back at her place, open the gate   please don’t let it be too late   the wind moves around, building maces, drawing a picture that   no one will see, it’s a sight for sore eyes   and sore eyes are all around me   well, come have a drink, let the afternoon vanish   we’ll talk about old times and people we hate   ‘til the hour is late and we find we have wasted our last reserve   April & May, are you ok?   talk to me, say I don’t have to go that way   pictures in frames - all misplaced - back in a haze   I swallow my tongue   please don’t let the race be run   look at me girl and sing me a song   I’m longing for words ‘cause mine are all gone   but we’ll be all right, after all it’s just a nightmare   April & May are you ok?   talk to me, say I don’t have to go that way   pictures in frames - all misplaced   back at her place   open the gate   key in the lock   the door opens up   what was it you said?   a fever in your head?   enough is enough   let the music stop!   Why can’t you just wake me up?
