southern suburbs

can i be your lover

in the southern suburbs?

i wanna run for cover

under the canopy

can i please come over

in my green land rover?

you're like a bossa nova

playing in the heart of me

fill a bowl with roses

when evening closes

in on my dreams

come and cool my forehead

and put me in my bed

i feel feverish

and i know it's not the truth

it's only me and only you

but it's an endless fall i'm falling

and i can only heed my calling

can i be your lover

in the southern suburbs?

i wanna run for cover

under the canopy

can i please come over

in my green land rover?

you're like a bossa nova

playing in the heart of me

i could hear you coming

you were a hummingbird

hovering

i think you're so pretty

not far from the city

in our eden

and i know it's not the truth

it's only me and only you

but it's an endless fall i'm falling

and i can only heed my calling

you keep me hanging tight

suspended like an epiphyte

and i won't let go

i know that i'm right

my love

don't try to calm me down

don't calm me down

calm me down

i'll calm down

can i be your lover

in the southern suburbs?

i wanna run for cover

under the canopy

can i please come over

in my green land rover?

i wanna take you over

like you're taking over me

can i be your lover

in the southern suburbs?

i wanna run for cover

under the canopy

can i please come over

in my green land rover?

you're like a bossa nova

playing in the heart of me
