I can tell when your nerves excite
‘cuz your foot flutters round like it’s tempting flight
Hanging out by the tennis courts,
You love to watch the old folks play
‘cuz you were pretty good in your day
You got a dream in your quick hand and you’re on your way
In your grey coat in the cold east coast,
You gave your heart to the art of French toast
Girl, that ain’t no pointless cause,
So go ahead and quit your job for bread eggs and applesauce.
Are you just one of those types who lives to be alive?
Oh now, if you want my opinion, you’re right on to like
What you like what you like what you like what you like what you like.
Ladadada oh oh oh ladadada ladadada oh oh oh ladada
I can tell when your nerves excite
‘cuz your foot flutters round like it’s tempting flight
Are you just one of those types who lives to be alive?
Oh now, if you want my opinion, you’re right on to like
What you like what you like what you like what you like what you like what you like.
So tie all your dreams with a string to your heart
It’s okay to forget who we are
And we’ll black out the sun with mile long kite and just follow the stars
Playing cards in the dark but we don’t what the rules are.
