lyrics

the poetry of lights with my glasses off
turn around slowly see my shadow is long
the poetry of lights with my glasses off
help me back into my mind

the way in which i think with my glasses off
sit down for an hour now an hour is gone
the way in which i think with my glasses off
under the machinery of night

and if you choose to kiss me take my glasses off
so i can only see things that are close up
if you choose to kiss me take my glasses off
but first let me know youre alright
always let me know youre alright
