As Close as This Lyrics by The Mutton Birds

Flock : The Best of the Mutton Birds

0

You drew some kind of circle
Three times 'round the house
Some kind of line in the sand
That no one else but I could cross
No one saw me coming
No one said my name
But if I had died in that house
It would have taken some time to explain

Helplessly watching
While you put on your stockings
As close as this
As close as this

We went to the hot springs
Where the tourists flock
The heat pushing out from the centre of the earth
Held back by a few feet of rock

Endlessly glowing
The red rock fell in
As close as this
As close as this

As close to me as you are standing now
Brighter than Times Square
And the noise was everywhere

I have no habits
As I always say
But I reached for you
Like the first cigarette of the very first day
The dawning of the world
After the longest kiss
But I escaped through ten backyards
Before I knew that I'd be missed

Rowing my boat
Across the lake of fire
As close as this
As close as this
It was as close as this
As close as this

As close to me as you are standing now
Brighter than Times Square
And the noise was everywhere
