Picture yourself 
on a date with manta-ray 
it is kill or cure tonight 
all extras stripped away 
and it's all because of Hemingway 
and the scenario is bright 
effervescent glow 
effervescent glow 
do I really know you 

make a list of things 
to cold-heart justify 
cause rain-soaked streets and lanes 
could never please your eye 
and it's all because of Hemingway 
and the scenario is bright 
effervescent glow 
effervescent glow 
do I really know you 

oh it's happening again 
oh it's happening again 
to my neighbours to my friends 
oh it's happening again 
and we drag it to the end 
oh it is happening again 
do I really know you  

a long list came to pass 
just took off drove away 
down rain-soaked streets and lanes 
they never could have stayed 
and it's all because of Hemingway 
and the scenario is bright 
effervescent glow 
effervescent glow 
do I really know you 

oh it's happening again 
oh it's happening again 
to my neighbours to my friends 
oh it's happening again 
and we drag it to the end 
oh it is happening again 
do I really know you 

oh it's happening again 
oh it's happening again 
to my neighbours to my friends 
oh it's happening again 
and we drag it to the end 
oh it is happening again 
do I really know you

it is really happening again 
it is really happening again
