Here I go, Geronimo, Vertigo to free fall The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled Now I pace myself 'cause I gotta stay in front man Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt man
To worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster Luck is a lady, but I wouldn't put it past her
As she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster Or slams me with amps like a bath with a toaster Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone From holding up the pedestal that I've put her on
I should've studied science 'cause I tend to forget That for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction Well, I must've slept through that one 'Cause now I'm on thin ice with no traction
Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me But she's looking at you No she's looking through me
And now I realize I've got no shape or size To the girl with the world in her eyes So I keep bouncing
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Or concede to Morrissey that pretty girls make graves I've shed the serpents skin and lost my head like Ann Boleyn
While rough winds do shake the darling buds of May I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren's tears I fear the reaper 'cause it's hard like heavy metal
When the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils Yet, the consequence of compliments Is that I am graced with graces periodic like the elements Her imminence influences subatomics
So I want to do her right like Shakespeare does a sonnet I'm on it, harassed by bees in bonnets Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics Loyal to my master like a pack of Pekingese While I try to hold my place with weakened knees
Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me But she's looking at you No she's looking through me
And now I realize I've got no shape or size To the girl with the world in her eyes So I keep bouncing
Maybe I should call you up, so we can spend some time together Take a walk or have some dinner, I don't care I'll do whatever My heart shivers every single time I get a busy signal Can I get an operator?
So you know if she said bounce with me, I'd bounce with her 'Cause every minute that I'm in it counts with her There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her And if she gave me half a glance then I would counsel her
That she should bounce with me, so I can bounce with her 'Cause every minute that I'm in it really counts with her There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her But do I have a chance
Is she thinking of you? No she just thought she knew me But she's looking at you No she's looking through me
And now I realize I've got no shape or size To the girl with the world in her eyes So I keep bouncing Yeah, she's got the world in her eyes
