Folie à Deux

Reading on the bus was not for me
I couldn’t focus on the things I meant to see
So took a walk around the block
Filled my head with what you said
Now those faces breathe inside me on my way

Come on the lights, I thought that we were friends
Now I’m sitting here toe-tapping every bend
Took so long to pick my dress
That boy did I almost forget
That I needed this to get me through the day

It’s just another catch to make but no one knows their names
It’s just another show to play, swings through the roof again

The rhythm’s looping round and round our heads
And the carriage shakes in time with every single word we’ve said
The parson smiles with glee
On the calm of this here green
Sun is shining, fire’s burning, it’s serene

I tell you I don’t care what they may say
There’s no time to sit around in here and hope and beg and pray
Do you think they’ll celebrate us
Do you think they’ll give a damn
Show the most of all you have and all you can

I know it’s wrong but shall we take this stop
Then at least we might leave here with a pocketful of change
And if we take our chances
Maybe we can run away
Pack our bags and feel the breeze of the highway

It’s getting round my head
Frantic words that have been said
They’ll surround my every move
The more I think about it
I wonder, what if we embrace it
Take the time to guide them through

And if we steal a friend or two
Who knows what we may do to our circus
Found our purpose
It’s our way
