The Madonna rides a motorbike Talks to me of sordid bliss Loves the nothing in enough And the emptiness inside a kiss She picks me up and we do that thing Do that thing she likes a lot It has nothing really to do with me Just everything that she ain't got Every day, I can see you there Faraway is right here if you dare Understand I never asked for this It just happened to me one day In a miracle along the way Sha la la sha la la la la Moses picks me up at eight Coffee at the local shop He parts the sea before my eyes In the bottom of his paper cup Parts the sea before my eyes With everything that's all gone wrong And says everything there is to get You've had inside you all along chorus I saw you disappear that day Round the corner drunk at noon You measured life and measured me From our reflection in a tablespoon Well something happens there alone In between the white and black Where loneliness becomes your name And ya know ya need to change it back chorus Sha la la sha la la la la
