lyrics

.
~ leap for lunch ~
.

and such a day
was made for make believe
we take a ride
upon the roundabout

is it what my life is leading to
that I walking in the park with you
but how can I speak now
when all that I feel
is dressed like a salad and arguably real

happy happy happy oooeeeeeooo
happy happy happy
the day’s a treat and the night’s a feast and I walk holding you
and you can hold me too

her rosy cheeks are warm with simple glee
I take my love
I take seriously

I reach for her fingers but they’re gone
and in their place something is taking form
and there appears such a glorious meal
dressed like a salad but arguably real

*

I’m on her breath
I’m in her very soul
if she belongs to me
then she won’t let me go

I burn this precious dinner to a crisp
I tear apart the final shopping list
but such is my future, as such it is sealed
let this be my salad. Let this be my meal

*
