lyrics

Sun Song

The sun don't fall
The earth it spins on axis
Aks me if I wanna stay the night
And I'll retract my worried mind
For another night by your side
Don't nobody come knockin'
Cause girl you know we got that covered

The sun rose up and baked the earth
On a Sunday of all days for what it's worth
And I like that we weren't so careful
Caution ran away with the spoon
The dish shattered but that really doesn't make me blue

The water is clear, is moving these fears
To the bottom of the river
Let them fall like rocks
In with the seaweed and bottom-feeders, we need them not

Baby when the rain does fall
The water rushes over the wall
Clothes they only weigh us down
Can I get a "Hell ya!"
The conversation cuts right out
Much like the hold-back of my mouth
Here we go!

We move to speaking through kisses
Moans and deliciously fluid movements
Of skin against skin
The words are movin' in and out and in and out
Without any hold-back

Bodies breakin' sweat and makin' bed springs sing
The wall becomes a drum as your knee knocks a beat
And we're movin' ever towards the window
Baby let the mattress fall!
Oh, nobody come knockin' cause girl you know we got that covered
Don't nobody come dancin' cause this ain't no dance party
There's only room for two here- me and you girl till the end
