Lexington (Joey Pea-Pot with a Monkey Face) Lyrics
The fields are near, and I won't trust the air with secrets
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms
For all the water in the ocean
Could never turn this swan's legs from black to white
Let them say, let them say, let them say what they please
[Chorus]
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey. Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever. I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
We went on drinking, celebrating something
I looked at you and said that 'I'm forever yours'
You looked at me and said 'Oh, the idea of being in love'
The idea, the idea of being forever yours
[Chorus]
Screaming from the inside of me
A lonely and pleading phantasm
We only get what we see
Gazing so desperately
Between the things that we fear
Gazing so desperately
Elaborate delusions
We're watching segregating illusions
Between the things that we see, and the things that we fear
No, no. It won't make them disappear
I can't stop holding this treasure in my arms
For all the water in the ocean
Could never turn this swan's legs from black to white
Let them say, let them say, let them say what they please
[Chorus]
You won't be leaving my arms ever, I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey. Even if you want me to let go
You won't be leaving my arms ever. I promise you that
Even if you want me to let go, honey
Even if you say the things that make me want to lose you
We went on drinking, celebrating something
I looked at you and said that 'I'm forever yours'
You looked at me and said 'Oh, the idea of being in love'
The idea, the idea of being forever yours
[Chorus]
Screaming from the inside of me
A lonely and pleading phantasm
We only get what we see
Gazing so desperately
Between the things that we fear
Gazing so desperately
Elaborate delusions
We're watching segregating illusions
Between the things that we see, and the things that we fear
No, no. It won't make them disappear
[Chorus]
