sound good.)

LYRICS:
(verse)
I can't feel this way much longer
Expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendoes
Just waiting to arrive
It's such a wavy midnight
And you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller
I hear what you're playin'
(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
(chorus)
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
(verse)
Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside your head
Involving all my energies
Until you visited
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
They shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense
(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a broken lullaby
(chorus)
Bye bye love
Bye g-bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love-ov-ov-ove
(verse)
Substitution mass confusion
Clouds inside your head
Were foggin' all my energies
Until you visited
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
They shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense
(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky
Always it's some other guy
It's just a stupid, fuckin' lullaby
(chorus)
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
