lyrics
Treasure Chest
It was so dark when I left our bed
it was so dark I should have stayed instead
instead of racing off to catch a big fat plane
and I should have stayed with you and fought back the rain
It was so bright when we touched down
I was sure I'd melt when we hit the ground
Have you seen this woman, have you seen this woman I know best
have you seen her shining like a treasure chest
You could not crack the drug open, you could not break it's shell
the sun is beating down on us and all is very well
you are all fine people, but you're no good to me
so stop your smiling and halt your festivities
Have you seen this woman, have you seen this woman I know best
have you seen her shining like a treasure chest
I could not sleep a wink
I could not hold my drink
I could not sleep a wink on my own
I did a crazy dance, and it went like this.
It was so dark when I left our bed
it was so dark I should have stayed instead
instead of racing off to catch a big fat plane
and I should have stayed with you and fought back the rain
It was so bright when we touched down
I was sure I'd melt when we hit the ground
Have you seen this woman, have you seen this woman I know best
have you seen her shining like a treasure chest
You could not crack the drug open, you could not break it's shell
the sun is beating down on us and all is very well
you are all fine people, but you're no good to me
so stop your smiling and halt your festivities
Have you seen this woman, have you seen this woman I know best
have you seen her shining like a treasure chest
I could not sleep a wink
I could not hold my drink
I could not sleep a wink on my own
I did a crazy dance, and it went like this.
