Swoon

written by Tanya Donelly

.


look at him
looking
everybody see
how he looks at me

like to set me on fire
like to burn

like to set me on fire
like to burn but...

i'll always get out
i'm not afraid

with these hips
these lips
these getaway sticks

i've got it made

there's always a green door
and green gets you out
green is sliding and diving and proteins colliding
it's your hipness, your fitness
your undying witness

leave the locks
on the door
i can find my own way home

leave the locks
on the door
i can find my own way home

for tomorrow
i'm sure
tomorrow
i'll find the green door

everyone out now
it's just you and me-hee

and i warned you
i warned you
i warned you
i warned you
i warned you
i warned you
i warned you hoo hoo hoo
oh oh oh

leave the locks
on the door
i can find my own way home

leave the locks
on the door
i can find my own way home

for tomorrow
i'm sure
tomorrow
i'll find the green door

i'm sure there's a green door
i'm sure

look at me
like to set me on fire
like to burn

like to set me on fire
like to burn but...

i'll always get out
i'm not afraid
i'll always get out

i've got it made
