The Zutons - April Fool lyrics

rate me

It was a wonderful night

And the stars shone bright in the evening

And the silence scouted

You could hear the cats and dogs are breathing

I was out to see a friend for a few

It didn't occur to me

The unknown frightening truth

All the lights are off from the houses

Nobody at home tonight

Everybody's gone out dancing

Some will get an early night

I check my phone for changes

And make sure I'm not late

I'm still on time

Down town for a date

She had a doll-like face

And a smile that you would steal for

And a scent that drew in men from miles away

She had a silver tongue

And a knowledge worth for dressing

And a killer set of legs that paved the way

But deep in the back of her head now

She had a funny kind of disease

She always made the men her victim

And always said "thank you, please"

Then when she opened her mouth now

"Hey, it's nice to see you again"

We were drinking more

We're laughing like old friends

She had a mystery

And a secret that would hold you

She could hypnotise

And keep you in her reach

She had a radar range

That kept a safe web around her

And secret eyes

That were drilled in the back of her ears

She always acted interested

Pretended she was having fun

But deep down in her darkened heart now

She was looking out for number one

I said: "Would you like another?"

She smiled and gave her glass to me

What she had in store, was a trick I could not see

I go to the bar

Put my order in and wait there

When I come out back

She was nowhere to be seen
