The Shiny Ones
by Alicia Edelweiss

Verse 1
With you, I can climb trees
And you don't underestimate my abilities
Like most men tend to do
Like most men tend to do
The mouse-hole, you swing that bow
It's so cool that you're a girl
And your eyes closed, I can't see
'Cos we always open them simultaneously, eh-eh
You need a quick hand to play fiddly songs
We'll have to practise more to steal the cereal
I was never caught shoplifting before until I met you

Pre-Chorus
Strange creatures are riding the metro
You said, "I likе it weird"

Chorus
Hearts ache, lips brеak, I'm scared of new friends
The shiny ones are supposed to pull towards each other
And I know there's people who want us to believe
That there's no such things as truth, ghosts, and destiny

Verse 2
Cheesy French guy, mademoiselle naive
Paris for a while, now I know you better
So many poets and painters at a party
His nose had a grand personality
Genies come to visit us when we switch the world off
Little tinker bell is dancing in my forehead
Lazing in the squat, I got so many new clothes
I'm the hobo princess, I got the right to dress up everyday

Verse 3
Having nothing, I crave for dirt
But all those machos with guitars, they just drained my soul
The father destroyed and the lover killed
I miss this life, but it wasn't fulfill
My approaching menstruation had me in fits
So I got jealous of your French guitarist
The angels have a meeting on the magic stairs
You must have forgotten when you were snogging in the park

Chorus
Hearts ache, lips break, I'm scared of new friends
The shiny ones are supposed to pull towards each other
And I know there's people who want us to believe
That there's no such things as truth, ghosts, and destiny
Hearts ache, lips break, I'm scared of new friends
The shiny ones are supposed to pull towards each other
And I know there's people who want us to believe
That there's no such things as truth, ghosts, and destiny
