G
Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes,
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
C
and magenta feelings take up shelter in the
base of my spine,
sweet like a chick of cherry cola.
G
I don't need to try to explain.
I just hold on tight,
and if it happens again,
I might move so slightly
C
to the arms and the
lips and the face of the human
cannon-ball that I need to. I want to.

D                              C
Come stand a little bit closer.
Breathe in and get a bit higher
D
You'll never know what hit you when
C
I get to you...

Chorus:
A#      C                 G
Ooh, I want you. I don't know if I need you, but
A#        C           G
ooh, I'd die to find out.
A#      C                  G
Ooh, I want you. I don't know if I need you, but
A#            C           G
ooh, I would die to find out.

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy, getting perfect is what I live for
But a look, then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking, using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
Who is swimming with a raincoat

Well, come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you

Chorus

Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain; I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Chorus - x3
