lyrics

Tuesday night in June
The introverts were out despite the rain
Hired guns for entertainment
We were playing to ourselves
They sit with joysticks in their hands
Loud enough to beat the band

We pack up and load out
Another one to give me doubts
Word goes round the group
Of a house that’s celebrating through the damp
A stone’s throw away the people dance
And you’re looking good but feeling bad

(Who knows) Well, the night is young and far from over
(Who knows) You could chuck the car in second gear
(Who knows) To a room full of perfect strangers

Upside down I saw you
On your hands you swept me off my feet
It felt like no one else in a crowd
Just you and me
With skin so pale and eyes so deep
Their brightly lit with dopamine
The night would carry on without our company
And I could see me happy with you

And when the music dies, its time to call the cabs
Like Lester Burnham in a trance
This lonely sailor’s just hit land
Hold out your hand for me to grab

(Who knows) Well we know the night is almost over
(Who knows) The rush of blood has made it clear
(Who knows) And if you call me up, you know I’ll answer

Upside down I saw you
On your hands you swept me off my feet
It felt like no one else in a crowd
Just you and me
With skin so pale and eyes so deep
Their brightly lit with dopamine
The night would carry on without our company
And I could see me happy with you
Yes, I could see me happy with you
