Lab of Life

I don't understand the game we are playing

I don't understand the words you're not saying

You've made a game out of love and I've been dealt a bad hand

I'm a foreign ship in your foggy land

---

Won't you please just talk to me?

All I ever wanted was your sounds around me.

No, that's really not all-

I need your body near me, I'm in withdrawals now.

Oh, no, that's not going to fix my pain, 

I need your arms around me to end this game

But even that won't do

Because I know I'm in love with you

I need to move into your place

like a puppy wagging every day

I want to give you all the love that I can

because I found you, and your my man.

I found you, and your my man.

---
Does it matter if I don't have a job right now?

I can give you love that will make you fall

into a world where you won't want to leave

You'll be so happy, it's ecstasy

I've discovered the secret my friend

It's starting at the end

Just when you know everything about me

That's where you can start to set me free

You won't have to ask me anything

Because you'll already know what I need

I talked it all out

Now I just need you inside of me

I'm burning for you to fill me with Chemistry

I'm on fire

I'm ready for safety goggles

and your Geography all around me

we don't need English any more

or History from before

Just light the burners up tonight

And join me in the Lab of Life
