The streets are all violent
With murderous excitement
The hunter and the prey
Are dancing everyday

That waltzing gibberish
Where intake becomes outlandish
I'm in a bad way
Every passing day

"So where do we go from here", I'll say
You're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break

Oh, Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart
You're still in my heart

A flash of dark interest
Steers us into this car crash
Uniting our remains, a fiery hurray
Ay ay ay

Our hands touch unnoticed
Pressed up against melting glass
You're calling out my name
As the air escapes

"Oh, where do we go from here", I'll say
You're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break

Oh, Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart

"Where do we go from here", I'll say
You're a shining star, you'd do great in L.A.
And I keep fixing every habit that I break

Oh, Megan, is this thing of ours still on?
For I haven't slept a wink since you have been gone
Now I want to be buried in your backyard
And when the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart

When the flowers grow just know you're in my heart
When the flowers grow just know you're still in my heart

    "Oh megan, don't do this Sometimes you can be so foolish I dropped you at your place That was yesterday. My thoughts have turned goulish, My insides have become outlandish I'm in a bad way every passing day." ^those are the lyrics at the beginning. really good song.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
