Up all night building forts for fighting fitful thoughts for us.

She sits in the kitchen Twitch-twitch.

Twitching in the kitchen Twitch-twitch.

Ping-pong Ollie,

Ping-pong Ollie,


All night long and off the walls, he's


Ping-pong Ollie.

Asking for

Not having to 

Speak at all.

Kissing and

Kissing or

Pressing or

Not at all.

“Take me, take me to”
