Just like Mr. Benn
It's hard to read between your lines
Just like Mr. Benn
Just like, just like
What if I appeared as if by magic?
You keep pouring when I say when
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean
Just like in Mr. Benn
Just like Mr. Benn
We pass light bits in the night
Just put your fingers
No, I don't speak in all your tongues
Just like Mr. Benn
Now you're four whole hours behind
Put your sweet fingers
Come home when your work there is done
Just put your fingers
We were the clock hands at midnight
I just stare and blink in your light
Just like Mr. Benn
Just like Mr. Benn
Just like Mr. Benn
A little closer to the keyboard
It's hard to read between your lines
We were the clock hands at midnight
So I don't even know if I'll be welcome
A little closer to the keyboard
Though you send your flare to the horizon
Just like Mr. Benn
Just like Mr. Benn
'Cos everyday you need a new one
And I fall over in their breeze
And I don't bring you the world's you crave
I don't bring you spices from the East
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
So go if you're going
A little closer to the keyboard
