Doesn't she know he's
Had such a busy day?
 
Tell her...shh
Somebody tell her...shh
 
No way, no way
There's no movement, no

It was only a test
But she swam too far against the tide
She deserves all she gets
 
The sky became mad with stars
As an out-stretched arm slowly disappears

Oh, hooray
No, there's no movement, no
Hooray, hooray
 
Please don't worry there'll be no fuss
She was...nobody's nothing
 
When he awoke the sea was calm
And another day passes like a dream
 
There's no, no way

Lyrics

Always looking for attention

Always needs to be mentioned Who does she think she should be?

The shrill cry through darkening air Doesn't she know he's Had such a busy day?

Tell her...shh Somebody tell her...shh

No way, no way There's no movement, no Hooray

It was only a test But she swam too far against the tide She deserves all she gets

The sky became mad with stars As an out-stretched arm slowly disappears

Hooray Oh, hooray No, there's no movement, no Hooray, hooray

Please don't worry there'll be no fuss She was...nobody's nothing

When he awoke the sea was calm And another day passes like a dream

There's no, no way
