lyrics

You and I were riding across the sky
when we decided to try to build a house on the sun
You and I were seeing eye to eye
when I confided that I had come undone
but we can still have fun

Well tell me what do you want, do you want, baby
I want to put you on, put you on, baby
I want to turn you up, turn you up loudly
I want to see your gods

Me and you were breaking animals out of the zoo
when we realized that all the blues are true
together we grew, and the cockatoos looked like they knew
and when I slept I dreamt of hunting caribou
and I was deeply moved

Tell me where do you go, do you go lately?
And can I come with you, come with you, baby
Show me what you know, what you know, baby
This time we'll take it slow, take it slow

You and me were meandering towards the sea
when we saw what we had seen many times before
we were green, and the wind rattled through the trees
and years and years of dreams washed up on the seashore
who could ask for more?

Tell me what do you want, do you want
I want to put you on, put you on
I want to turn you up, turn you up
I want to see your gods, see your gods
Tell me what do you want, do you want
I want come with you, come with you
I want to turn you up, turn you up
I want to see your gods, see your gods

You and I
were riding across the sky
When we decided to try
to build a house on the sun
to build a house on the sun
