lyrics

There's a weakness there
No, it's a call to arms, I'll fall for my own charms
You said I can't have fun
You've got an elephant tongue, I'll bite my own thumb

The Grand Platz is covered in glass
We veered off track then we doubled back
I never know what you think, you thought

You're a selfish slur
But now your face is a blur, face is a pure blur, your eyes off centre
You know we can't return
You're like a chemical burn

The Bruges mist saddened your eyes
Cherry beer for the atmosphere
At midnight it didn't feel right
But your skin feels soft

But I love your eloquent tongue
Wanna hear the sound we become
When we're not fingers and thumbs
By the canal in the sun
You're breathing air in my lungs

Eloquent tongue, elephant tongue, it's our love to spurn by the Dutch border turn
