"The Things Lovers Should Do" lyrics

The Things Lovers Should Do

Standing in the half light
Wondering if you can
There stands the priest of sinners
Consolation in his hands
He prays he won't need it
But he keeps it by his side
Waiting for the face up
And the answer in her eyes

All while the music's playing
A backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things
Things that lovers should do

Disco-queens in dancestep
Moving face to face
All tangled up in neon
Don't think it's some disgrace
The blue western denim
The East Coats razor edge
The European fashion
The leathers and re-threads

All while the music's playing
A backdrop serenade
Only one point of view
To be doing the things
Things that lovers should do

That lovers should do
Lovers should do
That lovers should do
Lovers should do

All while the music's playing
A backdrop serenade
Only one point of view
To be doing the things
Things that lovers should do
That lovers should do

Doing the things
That lovers should
Doing the things
That lovers should
Doing the things
That lovers should do

Doing the things
That lovers should do
