Sweeping Romance

(álbum: Cruel Cruel World - 2005)

I want a sweeping romance
I want to have the last dance
I want to be in some danger with you

I want a secret love code
We'll switch to silent safe mode
We'll give the cameras our own little show
We're not alone

And I will check the locks twice as you take off your wire
And light the fire

I wanna meet a dangerous girl
I wanna seat in the underworld
I wanna sleep with diamonds and pearls
I want my feet in a dangerous world with you

I want a sweeping romance
We'll drive a sports car through France
Our stares will burn with mistrust and desire
We're on fire

We'll forge Brazilian passports
Hide out in fancy resorts
We'll sip martinis before we retire
And we'll conspire

And the fate of the free world will Rest in our hearts
As we get started

I wanna meet a dangerous girl
I wanna seat in the underworld
I wanna sleep with diamonds and pearls
I want my feet in a dangerous world with you

And then I heard a sound
And when I looked around
Those same old cupboard drawers
Those creaky wooden floors
What happened yesterday
To make her turn away
If we could be that way
Then maybe she'd stay
