my girl she's asleep now

fleas leave her, jump to the ground

through a train window

flickering like a film frame

twenty four times a second

me and my girl gonna make it if we try



cos i've been hanging around

my head in my hands

and my feet on the ground

it's been too long

been chasing tales

i'm gonna leave the city

im gonna set sail (x3)



wooooo, oh oh

i fell asleep with the fireflies

but let the moonlight pass me by

on this long and lifeless road we walk on

me and my girl gonna make it if we try



cos i've been hanging around

my head in my hands

and my feet on the ground

it's been too long

been chasing tales

i'm gonna leave the city

im gonna set sail (x3)



wooooo, oh oh

turn out the lights

i see a sign and a sunset, yeah

ah, look at my life

could be a loser baby, could be a loser

but with you i forget, now there is

no use flapping around like a headless chicken

me and my girl gonna make it if we try



cos i've been hanging around

my head in my hands

and my feet on the ground

it's been too long

been chasing tales

i'm gonna leave the city

im gonna set sail (x3)
