Well the world's asleep in the crimson flush   Starin' down the barrel of a gun   The one I love is up with a silent crush   On everything under the sun   A child of roses, a pocket full of poses   She stands up to the call to attention   She pins up her petals on the row of scarecrows   And everything under the sun      Why would she drag faith along   Raking the shade indoors   'Cause in that shadow, winter might leave her alone   With everything under the sun      Hold me   As the morning sky blacks out   Hold me   There's no time left now for doubt   For the tinsel placed on an iron pine   Begging mother's milk to come   Electrifying sense like a neon sign   With everything under the sun      Now bouncing baby boy becomes a rolling thunder   Switching the nightlight on   And what passes on jade will have to settle for wonder   And everything under the sun      Now morning hangs over the engines of time   The streets flood with desolation   But the one I love, she clasps her tiny hands around me   And everything under the sun      Hold me   As the morning sky blacks out   Hold me   There's no time left for doubt   For the one I love's not instinct   No body had taken for ransom   No soldier marching in sync   To the beat of a tired anthem      My love, she is nothing   She's only everything   Everything under the sun
