My girl she’s asleep now
The fleas leave her, jump to the ground
Through a train window
Flickering like a film frame

24 times a second
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I’ve been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It’s been too long
Chasing tales
I’m gonna leave the city
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail

Wooooo, oh oh
I fell asleep with the fireflies
Let the moonlight pass me by

On this long and lifeless road we walk on
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I’ve been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It’s been too long
Chasing tales
I’m gonna leave the city
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail

Wooooo, oh oh
Turn out the lights
I see a sign in the sunset, yeah
Ah, look at my life
Could be a loser baby, could be a loser
But with you I forget, now it’s

No use flapping around like a headless chicken
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I’ve been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It’s been too long
Chasing tales
I’m gonna leave the city
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail
I’m gonna set sail
