Until the Morning After

Lyrics

It's a celebration, the stage is set Cheap decorations in the maisonette Some people dance, you do the same In your curious way A cigarette that turns to ash Settles in the water, without a splash Coloured lightbulbs above your table Get you in the mood, isn't that rude But you don't have a clue How I feel about you I wanna love ya But I'm like your brother I don't wanna live that way anymore Isabelle, Isabelle are you more than a friend? If I'm your man, I'm your man I don't wanna pretend I wanna kiss ya But you're like my sister Mercy on my soul if you don't feel the same C'est la vie, C'est la vie It's like a kick in the teeth But that's the way it's gotta be Conservative, under the guard But loosen up when you're having fun You could inspire a whole empire When you're turning it on You cut the cord, to the astronaut End it all just because you're feeling bored False confessions, at the cathedral Feed me happiness, thread the needle Still you don't have a clue how I feel about you I wanna love ya But I'm like your brother I don't wanna live that way anymore Isabelle, Isabelle are you more than a friend? If I'm your man, I'm your man I don't wanna pretend I wanna kiss ya But you're like my sister Mercy on my soul if you don't feel the same C'est la vie, C'est la vie It's like a kick in the teeth But that's the way it's gotta be Mama if there's no body like you Then I am alone, out in the world What should I do? Drop me a pin, what dimension are you in? There's no sense, in a paradise for two, want a planet just for you I wanna love ya But I'm like your brother I don't wanna live that way anymore Isabelle, Isabelle are you more than a friend? If I'm your man, I'm your man I don't wanna pretend I wanna kiss ya But you're like my sister Mercy on my soul if you don't feel the same C'est la vie, c'est la vie It's like a kick in the teeth But that's the way it's gotta be
