Cornerstone

Lyrics

I thought I saw you in the Battleship
 But it was only a look-a-like
 She was nothing but a vision trick
 Under the warning light
 She was close
 Close enough to be your ghost
 But my chances turned to toast
 When I asked her if I could call her your name
 ♪
 I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
 Huddled up in a wicker chair
 I wandered over for a closer look
 And kissed who ever was sitting there
 She was close, and she held me very tightly
 'Til I asked awfully politely
 "Please, can I call you her name?"
 And I elongated my lift home
 Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
 I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
 And kept my shortcuts to myself
 ♪
 I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
 Messing with the smoke alarm
 It was too loud for me to hear her speak
 And she had a broken arm
 It was close, so close that the walls were wet
 And she wrote it out in Letraset
 "No, you can't call me her name"
 Tell me, where's your hiding place?
 I'm worried I'll forget your face
 And I've asked everyone
 I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
 I elongated my lift home
 Yeah, I let him go the long way 'round
 I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
 And kept my shortcuts to myself
 ♪
 I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
 On the phone to the middle man
 When I saw that she was on her own
 I thought she might understand
 She was close, well, you couldn't get much closer
 She said "I'm really not supposed to
 But yes, you can call me anything you want"
