Let's pretend we don't speak english
And all our words just come out gibberish
We'll dress up like elves
And go stuff ourselves

When the waitress drops the check
We'll put on wigs and run like heck
And blend into some crowd
While they cheer and shout

Later we'll recline
Up upon the spine
Of the Brooklyn Bridge
And we'll giggle just like kids

You may say your sorry
But I know you're not
From the second story they must think that we are astronauts

I'm embarrassed for the moon
So naked and so soon
Plain for all the world to see
Has it got no decency

You may say your lonely
But I know you're not
I'm your one and only
And together we can take a shot

My eyes you have mistook
For a hanger or a hook
Upon which you have hung your look
Think of all the time it took
