The Party's Crashing Us

You're such a mystery

I just want to stand and stare

Nibble on your ear

And smell the ocean in your hair (Ocean in your hair, ocean in your hair)

I know you damage me

You leave me tangled in a knot (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

But when you reappear

I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot (Eyes forgot)

Neptunian blues that eyes forgot (Blues that eyes forgot, eyes forgot)

Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing

Alarms going off in my head

I want to grab you and just kiss you

Maybe I should sit down

No sense in cashing us now

Yeah, I only feel all right when the VU is flashing

And bombs going off in my head

I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down

The party's crashing us now

The party's crashing us now

Oh, well, we made love

Like a pair of black wizards

You freed me from the past

You fucked the suburbs out of me (The suburbs out of me)

And all those ugly days

That made us so sick (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

They are just fossils now

We've learned the elevating trick (Elevating trick, elevating trick)

We've learned the elevating trick (Elevating trick, elevating trick)

Still, I only feel all right when the VU is flashing

Alarms going off in my head

I want to grab you and just kiss you

Maybe I should come down

No sense in cashing us now

Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing

And bombs going off in my head

I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down

The party's crashing us now

The party's crashing us now

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh

I only feel all right when the VU is flashing

Alarms going off in my head

I want to grab you, want to scream at you, no icing me down

The party's crashing us now

I only feel all right when the VU is flashing

And bombs going off in my head

I want to grab you and just kiss you

Maybe I should come down

No sense in cashing us now

The party's crashing us now
