Eddie Baby

The cameras captured all of the glances
And all of the chances we missed
We raged and we spun for all of the dancers
The song as it lasted was bliss
But now the years have eaten
The songs we believed in
And nothing is left but the sound

Of six billion people ignoring the magic we found
Oh, but I hear your voice. It calls me like the night
It's singing in each syllable I write
Oh Eddie, baby, won't you come to my arms tonight?
I beg and plead you, please succumb to my charms tonight
I give my heart

But you take it and you break it and you tear it apart
Oh Eddie, baby, won't you come to my arms
When hormones were raging
Whilst sweetly teenaging, we cackled at thoughts of decline
And every chord that the people

Ignored is preserved in my mind for all time
And while the years have clawed at us and tears
Have gnawed at us, the song in my head still resounds
And I hope that one day, dear friend, you will come around
Oh Eddy, baby, won't you come to my arms tonight?
I beg and plead you, please succumb to my charms tonight
I give my heart

But you take it and you break it and you tear it apart
Oh Eddy, baby, won't you come to my arms
So scream and shout. We're burning out like everyone
So face the crowd
Rage at thunderclouds. Just jump into the fire and run
