[Intro]
Finally on the pillow
Clock blue light
Like the failtape [?]
The genie there to pray to
Save my friend, my family
Save my love for me

And after all the cruelty
It's still you who springs to mind
So please have time for me

[Verse 1]
Couldn't sleep last night? Me too!
Do you think that proves we need to stick together?
Or is sympathy too serious a thing
To take seriously? So?

[Chorus]
But if deep and dark you say you need
Well let me disagree
There's nothing else so deep as time in joy
So spend some time on me

[Verse 2]
So you stayed up late? Me too!
Couldn't recommend a different course of action
If I came on shy, too wired
Well now I feel so tired

[Chorus]
But if deep and dark you say you need
Well let me disagree
There's nothing else so deep as time in joy
So spend some time on me

[Verse 3]
So you read the books, learned the tunes
Well of course that's bound to help you pay the rent
Making meaning is just too dull
To take seriously--so I won't

[Chorus]
But if deep and dark you say you need
Well let me disagree
There's nothing else so deep as time in joy
So spend some time on me

[Bridge]
So tell me who's gonna ask you the question
If only to relieve this hold?
Did you ever get the shivers when you said hello?

Hello
