First Day of Somersaults Songtext

von Sivert Høyem

Bonnie gone to the moon
Bonnie gone to the far side of the moon
I had best protect her from the cold
The curtain's been lifted, our senses are slow
Sure, people will spit
But it don't hurt so much when you
You've done a line or two
I'll be the first to tell you that we really had it all
Now we're slippin' but we don't fall
There must be someone we could call
We're pulling faces at the sun with that moon on the run
Well I'm thankful you took me from the city and out to the sea
My hands in my pockets, your hands on the wheel
You speed like a rocket, foot flat on the steel
Sure I'd try and steal your heart away
If I wasn't bound to let it go
In a few moments or so
You got a lot of balls to drive a car in that state your in
Sure makes me wonder where you been
Up until now, where have you been?
You should come see us some time
You're just so good to be around
Cool water chilled me through
Surely you must have seen that too
I went in to impress you
I'm sure that you knew
My shoulders are shaking, my knuckles are blue
And all along the cove, the seabirds flap their wings and fly
And it's now I could try and catch your eye
Oh I let your blank eyes wander
Oh I am cold and I wanna go home
Home passed the frozen trees
And the black-marketeers
The vanity and the speed
The powder and the weed
Home from the water and the breeze to our positions and our needs
