lyrics

I thought that what I wanted
Was a brand new muse,
But I'm caught in a tornado.
Now I'm caught up and confused.
Every cell in my soul is
Resonating with a brand new dream.
I'm a supernova
On the verge of collapse.
I'm wading through the haze.
I've got it bad, bad, bad.
My inner monologue is so obscene.

Well it's a fine time
To run it off the rails
In a perpetual
Motion machine.
It's a fine time to
Grab that dream.
It's a fine time to
Go and act the fool
And carry on like a couple of
Love drunk teens.
Carry on, carry on, carry on Claudine.

I try to look through
The chemical reaction
To the person underneath
To validate the attraction,
But with you (you, you, you, you)
That's like staring at the sun.
I shudder when I think of what a
Wonderful machine you are...
You are... you are...
Oh yeah I know you are.
Your gravity has me floored
And completely undone.

Well it's a fine time...

I'm finally looking up.
I'm finally staring at the stars.
I'm dragging you around to all these
Small town bars.
Your face lights up with a smile
And those looks unfurl.
From the time you burst screaming
Out into this world
Til the night that we finally met
I've got this funny feeling like you've
Always been my girl.

Well it's a fine time...

Claudine
