I see you dutifully down
Beaten up in rags
Coyly penitent
Now we can talk
Our teeth interlock
We sway and we rock
“Pry out your eyes” you say
“Pry out your eyes” you giggle
I scold “Once is fine but twice cloys”
Let's shore up our alibis
“Above the trolls” you whisper and point
“There runs the terror of the bridges”

I see you dutifully down
Beaten up in rags
Coyly penitent
Now we can talk
Our teeth interlock
We sway and we rock
“Pry out your eyes” you say
“Pry out your eyes” you giggle
I scold “Once is fine but twice cloys”
Let's shore up our alibis
“Above the trolls” you whisper and point
“There runs the terror of the bridges”
