about

This is our song about smooching at a party. And MENTAL HEALTH.

lyrics

Crazy that lately
I never see you 'round no more
It makes me wavey
When you turn up at somebody's door
And my moves are rusty, I'm
Tryna keep it outta sight but
What sorta song is this?
Nothin' to lose between your touch and mine
It took us eons of starlight - yeow

So can we get a little closer - closer baby
You boogie-woogie on the night train into my head
You disco party to Emotion - motion
It's metaphysical and physical, oh
Will they ever be together?

Cos I only had ya for a minute
I wish I had you all night, all right
I only had ya for a minute
So don't you touch my heart
It's icky, icky, icky
Oh my word! It's icky, icky, icky

Baby, come save me
You leave me hanging in your head
Christine-queen-day-dream
Of a super chronic love affair

But if we get a little closer - closer boy
Would you promise not to look me in my eye?
Air around ya is so clinical and cynical
It's official, superficially
I'm not sure I can take it anymore

Cos I only had ya for a minute
I wish I had you all night, all right
I only had ya for a minute
So don't you touch my heart
It's icky, icky, icky
Oh my word! It's icky, icky, icky

But I get so depressed by myself, see
It's good for my health to have somebody else in my bed
And I know I don't handle it well, but I
Won't kiss and tell if you come ring my bell like you said

(Cos I look at you and I know)
Cos I look at you and I'm bored
Of being afraid of the world

But I only had ya for a minute
(It's mysterious...)
I wish I had you all night
(Oh boy you got me, it's tight
So come over and ah - ah)
I only had ya for a minute
So don't you touch my heart
It's icky, icky, icky
Oh my word! It's icky, icky, icky
