Close shave in Petralona
My new friend walked me, hand in hand down to that busy square
You said, "Let's head some place quieter"
Athens is small
Everybody knows you here
You placed your hands
Over my ears
You placed your hands
Over my ears
This orange mush isn't much to write home about
Your confidence is crushed, well, you seem to do just as well without
Thank you for sitting down with me
You said, "Don't say thank you, I choose to be here freely"
You placed your hands
Over my ears
You placed your hands
Over my ears
Close shave in Petralona
People drinking, taking pills, presenting and breathing that carnival air
All the balconies were talking to me
Shedding light in a way nothing else seemed to
From somewhere, I called out a scream
"I'll think l might be done here"
Won't you place your hands
Over my eyes
Would you place your hands
Over my ears
Would you place your hands
Over my ears
Would you place your hands
Over my ears
Over my ears
