Come in Number One

from Mr Charisma by The Quixotes

/

lyrics

Come in, number one, now your time is up
We’ll miss the boat, while you alone elope
The ides of these tides
Let’s go over the side
I’ve been in the sun too long
Did you ever notice something wrong

Your blood is cold
And your eyes are shot
Keep firing that bullet into my feet again

Come in, number one, it’s only a plastic gun
Come in, number one, it’s only a plastic gun
Come in, number one
Come in, number one, your time is up

Once more around the island
Twice more to skirt around the issue
Again for the comedy value alone
And to make sure we’s all dizzy
I was alright last time I checked
Then I turn a’port and the spirit’s decked
So I drown in your moonshine
Somewhere o’er the stateline
Where it’s a crime to be scuppered
When the stakes are always peppered
So I’ll stay as long as I like
Yeah, I’ll stay as long as I like
You’ll have to dive in and get me
Come on, dive in and get me
The waters’ lovely, yeah
If I’m to fall in love on a whim
I should have learned to swim

Come in, number one, your time is up
Come in, number one, was only a plastic gun

Come in, number one
Come in, number one
Come in, number one
Your time is up
Your time is up
Your time is up

If I am to fall in love on a whim
I should have learned to swim

Your time is up
Your time

/sigh
