Lyrics

Green Gloves

Falling out of touch with all my Friends are somewhere, getting wasted Hope they're staying glued together I have arms for them Take another sip of them It floats around and takes me over Like a little drop of ink In a glass of water Get inside their clothes with my green gloves Watch their videos in their chairs Get inside their beds with my green gloves Get inside their heads, love their loves Cinderella through the room I glide and swan 'Cause I'm the best slow dancer In the universe Falling out of touch with all my Friends are somewhere, getting wasted Hope they're staying glued together I have arms for them Get inside their clothes with my green gloves Watch their videos in their chairs Get inside their beds with my green gloves Get inside their heads, love their loves Now I hardly know them But I'll take my time I'll carry them over And I'll make them mine Get inside their clothes with my green gloves Watch their videos in their chairs Get inside their beds with my green gloves Get inside their heads, love their loves
