Lamp At Midnite
(专辑: First Offense - 1983)
You take my heart like a
bow and arrow And shoot it at me I
know I
walk the
tight rope when it's narrow To earn my degree I
know Now I'm the
last boy at the
playground Who's laughing at me I
know, I
know, I
know And through the
corridor I
follow you And the
chaos trips my mind Now I
write you short stories Just to say we're gonna love each other all the
way Well I
know you're not the
talking kind And if you really want to know me (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite Said I
really want to know you (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite In a
red school house where I
see you In the
morning light I
know Send me sailing to pick you flowers From the
isle of white You know, you know, you know Take my eyes to the
pages Where I
draw pictures of your name Now I
speak in dialects Just to say (We're gonna love each other all the
way) You're not the
kind of girl that plays the
game And if you really want to know me (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite Said I
really want to know you (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite And to really understand me (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite, nite, nite, nite And through the
corridor I
follow you And the
chaos trips my mind Now I
write you short stories Just to say (We're gonna love each other all the
way) But I
know you're not the
talking kind, kind And if you really want to know me (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite Said I
really want to know you (Oh, you know) Burn a
lamp at midnite And to really understand me, oh you know Burn a
lamp at midnite I
said I
really want to know you, oh you know Burn a
lamp at midnite yeah (Da, Della) continued until the
end of the
song.
