The Magnetic Fields - Suddenly There Is a Tidal Wave lyrics

You held me upside-down Till I couldn't breathe anymore Then you held me like a baby Television, like wine; and cigarettes, like grains of sand; And raspberry schnapps, like a thousand sunsets.

There were probably birds Outside our little room I don't remember anything but you We must have been the bu*t Of all the jokes in the world For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking. (C) (C)
