Lullaby Felix Riebl


I cannot say oh sweetness like he could
‘Cause I cannot play a lullaby like it should

I used to cry but now I have to laugh
Because she’s got that torment to a fine art
Smart like a fox she as crafty as a cat
I’m looking up as I’m lying on my back
By the feast if I want a big piece of the pie
But she’s taken the feast in the blink of an eye

I cannot justify what’s going on
It feels so right when it seems so wrong
Like a plot hatched in that sweet spot of that trap
Ask her what she schemes she say ‘oh, this and that’

Then she snaps like a camera and black with a flash
Puts the drum in the drummer, The hand in the clap
She’s a map with no bearings attached, no,
A safety in this match, fire you could catch
Then zap I was struck by that bolt before dawn
And by breakfast, honey, we were signed and sworn

 

CHORUS

But I’ll give you all-night movie marathon
And a triple espresso so you can stay awake
It might be late, but, it’s never too late for that loving, my sexy babe
Something’s always telling me save your prayers before dawn
Coz what happens when I’m with you
Makes me shake my head then smile and yawn
I’m worn out but I’m beaming,
And it seems that we are dreaming
As we head out to that strange old morning dawn

This game is no game but it’s played all the same
And I love her deep and if it makes me deranged
She’s like tears in the rain
Burning spears in my brain
Cause me pain sometimes
Make me drain
But I cannot complain
I’m mad, the ugly, good or bad

Had some happy with my sad
And some tricks in my bag
When it’s up run amok
Like a bull and just fuck
When it’s down, it’s a drag
And you fight with no a-t-t-tack

At times I would dive in the sea
To escape the rising and crashing, we'll
Drink tea with a fat fish, and find a golden key
And rise to the surface and open my baby
And maybe she’d say we are crazy
Two of us together, Melbourne weather
Be like balls in a maze
See we rolling along in obscurity
When we meet in the middle
Say ‘mmm it’s a treat.’
