The brown mouse scurries over your foot,
as the pillows eat up every crumb
Your nose dances in the air
Remembering yourself plaid and mistaken
The Sun plays with Death,
as the birds fly by
Tomorrow pretends not to listen
Forever you'll be searching for the number
Everyone tells you the flowers speak lies,
but you know better than them
Picture her under the floorboards,
with lighters and treasure
Forget the cities and their worries
Look in the sea for the one who knows no truth,
the world fast asleep to the lull
London will tell you not to go by
They told me not to judge a book by its cover
But you know me better than that
The clock's arms are tired
Folly and the Fool sing hand in hand
as the pillows eat up every crumb
Your nose dances in the air
Remembering yourself plaid and mistaken
The Sun plays with Death,
as the birds fly by
Tomorrow pretends not to listen
Forever you'll be searching for the number
Everyone tells you the flowers speak lies,
but you know better than them
Picture her under the floorboards,
with lighters and treasure
Forget the cities and their worries
Look in the sea for the one who knows no truth,
the world fast asleep to the lull
London will tell you not to go by
They told me not to judge a book by its cover
But you know me better than that
The clock's arms are tired
Folly and the Fool sing hand in hand
