you always got those dark sunglasses   covering half your face   but if you promise to take them off   promise i won't squander your gaze   i will be picturesque   i will be nice   i won't do anything you can't tell your own wife   i will think before i act   i will think twice   just let me see your eyes      each time we've spoke, put in our tokens, ridden the tilt-a-whirl   and i was giggling and dizzy   flirting like a 12 year old girl   the carnival of you and me was coming to town   watch how we spin and spin and then fall down   now we just say hello and head for firmer ground      you are the one-way glass   that watches me   standing in line at the bank   i always looks into your glasses   like a cat looks into a fish tank   but all i could ever see   was the specter of me reflected   i want a monument of a friendship   that we never had erected   i wanted to take up lots of room   i wanted to loom      you always got those dark sunglasses   between us when we talk   But after the party is over   if you wanna take a walk   we could just look around   not do nothing wrong   just try to be at least as brave as our songs   i will bring my heart   i will bring my face   you name the time and place
