lyrics

baby baby you dare to say
i've turned my back on you all day
don't be silly now - i wasn't praying no Lord
you said come to bed lets make things straight
the feeling's there it sure can't wait
a little music helps - burn a candle - handle me

it's funny you should procrastinate
cause the sun is fading i heard them say
on the radio i ain't kidding no - no no no
if this is our final hour

I'll stay up a little longer
I'll stay up a little i’m not that tired

its been raining now all through the year
all in all i fear you don't know many indoor hobbies
zig a zig ah
so won't you shake your certainties
believe in stones you could but please
it's fine with me as long as they're not thrown at me
if this is my final hour

I’ll stay up a little longer
I’ll stay up a little i’m not that tired

and all this feels like deja-vu
so many twists and turns and what have you's
and from my point of view for all i care
it's a very fine line yet it don't seem fair
when its not you its me

I’ll stay up a little longer
I’ll stay up a little i’m not that tired
