Kiss on the corner of the mouth

Every hour has its day

Flush with the door

Two scenes that cut together well

These rooms have witnessed brash display

Now they impress themselves in turn
Gº Bm7
Descending from the highest note
Em7 Bm7
Taking long and easy strides

All the shivers left outside

Now get out of my sight
