Lantern
written by Tanya Donelly

.

come on what's-your-name
i've got a good game
i've got a story
hope you like 'em gory

and it's much too late for bed

come on tiger
why so tired?
i've got a good game
plus i'll let you win again

and it's much too late for bed
yeah it's much too late for bed

so shi-shine on me
shi-shine on me

i crave your company
and fall in the dark so be my lantern
(be my lantern)

come on tiger
why so tired?
come on what's-your-name
i've got a good game
i've got a story
plus i'll let you win again

ooh ooh, yeah
yeah it's much too late for bed

ooh la la la
ooh la la la

be my lantern

never have i seen that face
on one so young

so shi-shine on me
shi-shine on me
shi-shine on me
shi-shine on me

i crave your company
(i crave your company)
and fall in the dark so be my lantern
(be my lantern)
