Lyrics
GET LOW
(chorus)
Get low
Speak to me
Limb on limb
And eye on eye
Grow wing
If you have heart
Take heart of mine
And fly
I'm spent
I'm only grown
The seeds
Are barely to sell
Shut door
You grow too loud
We grow
By side, by side, by side
Early in the morning
When the monkeys come to play
Mother calls the cable car
To drag us into day
We fumble for the pieces
That were scattered when we fell
But last night, for a moment
I believed I knew you well
(chorus)
Passing through the cartons
And the super-basket jaws
Lunch with Mrs Parson's
Food face. Mind the petit fours.
Mr Greensheath's floozy
Secret Susan in disguise
Keeps catching last night passing
Like a film across my eyes
(chorus)
One minute six
Beyond the wasted hours we spend
Waiting in the darkness
For the darkness to descend
I know you're out there somewhere
And I'm crouching for the blow
So take your breathing lightly
And get ready for the show
(chorus)
