Lyrics

Cards & Quarters

Cards and quarters Means to ends Surgeon general Warns against Safe in the knowledge Short walk back Punchline I ruin But we both laugh Leaves steeping longer Knowing glance Make our appearance Our minds have gone back home Brave in her movements Scared to dance alone There's a cave made of sheets And I, I, I know we want to be inside Take off all of your clothes and climb Into a cave of sheets tonight Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets Steal away you and me To a cave made of sheets
