My skin is white as parchment
La-ling, la-ling, la-ling
On the finest of cottons and the hippest of brands
Where the air is tight
And love, oh, love
La-ling, la-ling, la-ling
Oh, what a lovely sound
Oh, what a lovely sound
Oh, what a lovely sound
Oh, how it shakes the ground
La-ling, la-ling, la-ling
Oh, what a lovely sound
Is my, love is
There's time spent, resting on her bones
Oh, what a lovely sound
Oh, how it shakes the ground
Where the air is tight
Oh, what a lovely sound
There's time spent waiting for that
Oh, how it shakes the ground
Butterfly in Thailand
Ba-ring, ba-ring, ba-ring
Ba-ring, ba-ring, ba-ring
Oh, how it shakes the ground
Waiting for the telephone to ring
Run back to bed and slam the door
Oh, what a lovely sound
Ba-ring, ba-ring, ba-ring
My skin is cold as her toes
Drier than a downtown office building
On the bathroom floor
On bolder letters than the capital I
To come down and sing
Ba-ring, ba-ring, ba-ring
La-ling, la-ling, la-ling
Macrame bird of prey
Oh, what a lovely sound
Skin is my, it's the only thing
It's the only thing that
It's the only thing, it's the only thing
Oh, what a lovely sound
It's the only lonely, whoa
Oh, what a lovely
Oh, how it shakes the ground
Let it be printed on every T-shirt in this land
That doesn't really fly in my land
