The Cat Empire - Lullaby lyrics

I cannot say "oh sweetness" Like he could 'Cause I cannot play a lullaby Like it should I used to cry but now I have to laugh Because she's got that torment To a fine art Smart like a foxy And crafty as a cat I'm looking up As i'm lying on my back Bite the beast If i want a big piece of the pie But she's taken the feast In the blink of an eye I cannot justify What's going on - it feels so right When it seems so wrong Like a plot hatched In the sweet spot of that trap - ask her what she's schemes She say "oh this and that" Then she snaps like a camera In black with a flash Puts the drum in the drama The hand in the clap She's a map with no bearings Attached - no Safety in this match Fire you can't catch Then zap I was struck by that Bolt before dawn Then by breakfast honey We was signed and sworn I give you all night movie marathon And a triple espresso so you can stay awake It might be late - but It's never too late for that lovin' My s**y baby Something always telling me "save your prayers before dawn" 'Cause what happens when I'm with you Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn I'm worn out but I'm beaming And it seems that we are dreamy As we head out through that strange old morning door This game is no game But it's played all the same And I love it even If it makes me deranged It's like tears in the rain Burning spears in my brain Cause me pain sometimes Make me drained But I cannot complain - mad the ugly good and bad Had some happy with my sad And some tricks in my bag When it's up run a muck Like a bull that just bucked When it's down it's a drag And you fight with no partner to tag At times I would dive in the sea To escape from the rising And crashing malea Drink tea with a fat fish And find a golden key Then rise to the surface And open my baby And maybe she'd say "we are crazy" The two of us together like Melbourne weather Be like balls in a maze see We rolling along in obscurity But when we meet in the middle Say mmm it's a treat I give you all night movie marathon And a triple espresso so you can stay awake It might be late but It's never too late for that lovin' My s**y babe [Oh, my s**y baby] Something always telling me "save your prayers before dawn" 'Cause what happens when I'm with you Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn I'm worn out but I'm beaming And it seems that we are dreamy As we head out through that strange old morning door She give me all night movie marathon And a triple espresso so we could stay awake It might be late but It's never too late for that lovin' My s**y baby Something always telling me "save your prayers before dawn" 'Cause what happens when I'm with you Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn I'm worn out but I'm beaming And it seems that we are dreamy As we head out through that strange old morning door
