Lyrics

Cherubs

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I see cherubs Swarm around the bed And swooping down To kiss your head [Verse 2] Only when you're wrecked Do you agree With all my plans For you and me [Verse 3] The walls breathe We're locked tight It's a lovely end To an ugly night [Outro] I think I could burst But I'm sure it'll keep The strobe in my head Keeps me from sleep
