[verse 1]
I got patience
You're cunning
Fit to my stray hand like a Schiaparelli glove
Let the rest of the world be coarse

Sitting around the table
All day talking
With the suicides and lazy eyes
Longing 'til the stars align
Let the rest of the world be coarse

You stay sweet for me

[verse 2]
I paint the winters
Marching round across our backs
I lay upon the ceiling
Counting mice escaped the traps
Let the rest of the world be coarse
Let the rest of the world scream hoarse

[Chorus]
You speak sweet to me
Let me call you mine
All the time
You stay sweet for me

[verse 3]
Saw you on the table
Constrained they carved your name
You lay exposed open eyes
It blew my mind to see your grin
Let the rest of the world be coarse

[Chorus]
You stay sweet for me
Let me call you mine all the time
You stay sweet for me

[bridge]
I love your cunning eyes
And how you size me up
Modigliani eyes
I'll call you mine

[chorus
If you stay sweet for me
Let me call you mine
I'll mark the hour
You stay sweet for me
