Molasses in a sodden field
If you're lonely how it tilts
Some things you talk about
Some you keep sealed
And you slink away
Hold me up against the sea
The darkness is like a seed
Put it in your pocket
And I want it
But I'm afraid
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Meet me on the avenue
I tore your letter into two
It don't mean a thing to me
But it looks pretty
Against my shoe
Let them rip the world apart
Asteroids like orange hearts
As sure as my skin is brown
When she gets down
I think we're through
Ooh
Ooh
Molasses in an open field
I'm so sorry the way I seem to you
Oh
I'm so sorry
The way I seem to you
Oh
Oh
That's the way
I seem to you
When I look that way at you
Ooh
Ooh
Oh
Oh
Ooh
People come and people go
Some will please you
Some take a toll
But I'll throw them away for you
Oh
I wanna hold you
Before we do
