Electric Pink

Electric Pink

Promise Ring (The)
(album: Very Emergency)

I live on a small street,
with very small shoes but in a big house,
with a big wardrobe.
I´ve got the whole world in my hands;
it´s a small world after all.
And there´s not much to say on five bucks a day,
and there´s no other way,
so we´re just hanging around.
For the weekend to come we´re all hungry
and dumb for Friday.
Please don´t press that we dress,
high heels and loud shoes are a mess step out with quiet feet.
I´m pleased to meet;
meeting is so hard to do when you´re dead.
Between a wink and an earthquake there are conversations
and complications go on, on, and on I pretend that I understand my hands
and the rest are only a test.
To be paid to be pressed when we end we will be softly kissed.

Yeah, I feel electric
Pink in the cheeks
We look like animals
Seven days a week
I´m too polite
You´re too brief
