Age Of Understatement

[Intro]                   [Verse] Decided To sneak up away from your stomach And try your pulse And captured What seemed all unknowing and candid But they suspected it was false       She’s playful The boring would warn you be careful Of her brigade In order to tame this relentless marauder Move away from the parade        [Bridge 1] And she was walking on the tables in the glass house            Endearingly bedraggled in the wind           Subtle in her method of seduction        The twenty little tragedies begin           And she would throw a feather boa in the road                  If she thought that it would set the scene            Unfittingly dipped into your companions           Enlighten them to make you see              [Chorus] And there’s affection to rent          The age of the understatement Before the attraction ferments                     Kiss me properly and pull me apart Affection to rent the age of the understatement Before this attraction ferments                   Kiss me properly and pull me apart [Bridge 2] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh    And my fingers scratch at my hair            Before my mind can get too reckless        The idea of seeing you here        Is enough to make the sweat grow cold                Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh    [Outro]
