No. 99 Lyrics

Overcome and baby soft
And smell your hair all mossy green
From swimming all day in the sea
Since the sweet song stays all summer long
On your mind, so distracting
How could you get it wrong?

Gaze into the pool
Kicking like a fool
Why get out of bed?
Just admit that you gotta get back in
Absent again

Be careful what you say
She reads your writing
Or give yourself away
Where you've been hiding
You play astronaut and I'm the pilot
She's already heard though we keep quiet

Broken junk and sidewalk job
We wrote the names as plain as day
It rains but it won't wash away
Fall asleep, deflector shield
Swinging wristwatch drift above
Pass the spooky rubber glove

Feel like Steve McQueen
And there's no in-between
Change your shirt again
It's okay if we don't show up instead
So break your bed

Be careful what you say
She reads your writing
Or give yourself away
Where you've been hiding I can't be the nurse, you're airline pilot
She's already heard but we keep quiet

Be careful what you say
If you feel that you change your mind and you want to stay
It's way too soon to go against the breeze
Fall asleep, you're dreaming

Overcome and baby soft
Tired and looking for the exit sign
Counting down from 99
Buzzing with the bees and birds, and kissing in the dark
Afraid of walking in the park

Three minutes you keep
You skin your scabby knees
Secret dungarees
It's the same thing every day
So sleep away

Be careful what you say
She reads your writing
Or give yourself away
Where you've been hiding
You play astronaut and I'm the pilot
She's already heard though we keep quiet

Be careful what you say
She reads your writing
Give yourself away
Where you've been hiding
I can't be the nurse, you're airline pilot
She's already heard though we keep quiet
