Lyrics

That Someone Is You

[Verse 1]

With the restraint of New Order covers

Young Marble Giants

I sat quietly, waiting

For someone else to make the first move

Someone else to make the first move

[Chorus]

That someone is you

That someone is you

That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand

Pulled me up and out of me

[Verse 2]

And with the fury lock of Sharon Stone Casino

Scarface, Al Pacino, '74 Torino

I need someone else to make the first move

Someone else to make the first move

[Chorus]

That someone is you

That someone is you

That someone has pulled me up and out of cartoon quicksand

Pulled me up and out of me

You

Pull me up and out of cartoon quicksand

Pull me up and out of me
