Lyrics
This thing is running on high
Running on overdrive
Sugar on my fingers
And running on the highest high
Couldn't you take me with you?
Couldn't you take me on?
All this indecision, and a lightbulb in the middle, and I think it just went on.
I ain't gonna say, what you wanna hear.
If you like, we can play this game for years.
So you're living on the wire
Never quite satisfied.
Thinking of what you left behind
And what you gave away cos it was all too hard.
Couldn't you take me with you?
Couldn't you take me on?
All these indecisions
Make a heart that should stay open
But I think it's gonna close.
I ain't gonna say, what you wanna hear.
If you like, we can play this game for years.
I ain't gonna say, what you wanna hear.
If you like, we can play this game for years.
