Lyrics

The Things You Do

Out of the rabbit hole

Looking through the whiskeys windows

And under the grass

Waiting quite faces wandering around

Who are looking for the words

Hiding in the back of the

Wait till the morning stars

Weep it

Tell me what do you see

Everybody's taking pictures

Everybody except me

Smiling at the edge of the world

Is there anybody there?

Who will pull us back together again

All the things that you do

...when we get older

I've been looking at you

...coffee for two

Is there anybody there?

Is there anybody there?

Who will pull us back together again

Tell me what do you see
