Floating Over You

jetty dressed and bunker bound

shuffling through the heather

neighbors drop their flowers down

and worry about the weather



everynight I'm floating over you my love

everynight I dream I'm under you



all of the smiling men with sweaty hands

delivering widows' pensions

won't you please accept our sympathy

in two or three dimensions



everynight I'm floating over you my love

everynight I'm drifting under you



don't want to think about my last cigarette

don't want to focus on the curve of your thigh

don't want to slip along your white silhouette

I don't think this is a very sensible way to die



lonely, lonely



every night I'm floating over you my love

every night I dream I'm under you



well I'm alter bound and under dressed

and just slightly out of order

hanging on the fringe of daylight

soft and pitchy border



every night I'm floating over you my love

every night I'm slipping under you

oh, everynight I'm floating over you my love

everynight I dream I'm under you

lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely

oh, I'm so lonely
