distant lovers

oh

the things you say

can ruin a day

we are distant lovers

such distant lovers

the sky's an angry grey

but we can't look away

we try to break one another

we try to break one another

landing in some turquoise town

best not sleep around

there's whispering

they're listening

then talking

the world is watching

oh! don't stay so far away

my distant lover

my distant lover

oh! the things you say

we try to break one another

we try to break one another

it's there in black and white

we fuss and we fight

i'm a difficult boy

with a difficult mother

so let's chalk it up to that

the unavoidable fact

it's a difficult world

we try to break one another

some attractions take you down

best not mess around

keep walking

there will be talking

so much talking

the world is watching

oh! don't stay so far away

my distant lover

my distant lover

oh! the things you say

we try to break one another

we try to break one another

oh! why are you so far away?

my distant lover

my distant lover

no i won't hear a word they say

i don't want to lose another

i don't want to lose another
