silly things

Wild Child

Silly things, like diamond rings
Fall between other things
Like you and I

We used to have a coffee pot
We used it a lot
To sit around and talk about
Everything

We always won, but we will never get
But a dreamer is still a dreamer
Till you wake them up, and sit them down
And explain to them:
The sky is up and the earth is down

Amongst other things, like human beings
They really are what they seem
They lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead of you
And Iââ?¬â?¢m afraid itââ?¬â?¢s true
When the world comes crashing down
What are they to do?

And Iââ?¬â?¢m not blaming you for being naÃ?¯ve
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
About candlelight
Forget about stupid fights

And itââ?¬â?¢s funny to me
I canââ?¬â?¢t remember a single thing that we fought about
Now that Iââ?¬â?¢m alone
But I guess thatââ?¬â?¢s how it goes

But I do remember every time that you kissed my neck
Oh, I loved that the best
Wonââ?¬â?¢t be getting none of those
Now that Iââ?¬â?¢m (youââ?¬â?¢re) an alley queen
And away from you (me)

But darling, remember please
That people lie, cheat, and steal
To get ahead of you, and Iââ?¬â?¢m afraid itââ?¬â?¢s true
When the world comes crashing down
What are they to do?

And Iââ?¬â?¢m not blaming you for being naÃ?¯ve
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Darling, come get your coffee pot
Cuz it hasnââ?¬â?¢t been used
Since I last used you
