She Wants To Know

from Return by Mikel Rouse

lyrics

SHE WANTS TO KNOW

She wanted something like disbelief
A second look for a second hand thief.
A four leaf clover
A frying pan
A single women meets a single man.

They fall for hours.
They drink aloud.
Then make arraignments away from the crowd.
But twenty questions
From up above
She wants to know if he’s really really really in love.

She wants to know
She wants to know
Keep your eyes on the road (pell mell)

She wants to know
She wants to know
And you’re causing a crowd (pell mell)

She braves the weather; the current cold
And save forever the climate on hold
Forget who’s lonely
Arrest who’s gone
And shake the hand of who’s side that you’re on.

She wore a come back
Erase on call
The circulation dividing the wall
But twenty questions, who’s out who’s in?
She wants to know if he’ll really really really begin.

She wants to know
She wants to know
Keep your eyes on the road (pell mell)

She wants to know
She wants to know
And you’re causing a crowd (pell mell)

She wants to know: Where are you going?
Up over heaven, the other side?
I see leaves falling, I see inside.
Forget who’s lonely.

Oh, forget lucky to the bereaved
Imagination for all gifts received
Up over heaven
The other side’s a
Covered wagon with nothing to hide

Finger forever a lot that’s free
Unsentimental meets unhistory
But twenty questions from up above
Just wants to know if she’s really really really in love.
