Queens Club - An Apparition lyrics

Hoops, hoops, always jumping through hoops And tripping on the hedges Tiptoe through fire, too sure to look behind I ain't using using checks and balances Youth had freed me To run with the wolves and feast on the night The hungry night, the hungry night Maybe I just wanna be your man How am I to put you down If I'll just pick you up again? Maybe I fear I can't taste your love now that I've decided That I can't only be your friend Move, make a move that you might be tempted again to feel Anything that's wrong is right When day has fled to night I've been there Dan, there's nothing wrong With a taste of a kiss that missed on love And so it fainted To be dismissed would be so sad So I check you up and down I've got a greater proposition There's a simple way to fit the mold You'll look a man on his mission First, you'll spread yourself thin Next, you can paint your face a pale white Then, you'll let yourself through that door And alas, you'll surely claim your prize I'll bring you up to have a sweeter tooth and a deeper root Until you're face to face with an apparition The ghost that breathes lies is a greater danger, a perfect stranger At last you've turned the light on At last you've turned the light on Maybe I just wanna be your man How am I to put you down If I'll just pick you up again? Maybe I fear I can't taste your love now that I've decided That I can't only be your friend Oh, be mine
