Lyrics

No one knows if it comes and goes
Is it a typical thing, this thing called love?
Do you need to learn to fly
Or can you simply glide
And take a dive, only to turn like a dip then sweep
And fall in swoop and swallow the sky?
No one knows if it comes and goes
Wears new clothes, or wares
Where or when that it might strike
On a Friday night out there
Or do you go to spare?
At the party, at the ball
In a get-down trawl when you rest your head
Heaven only knows what Hollywood knows
At the screen, in a talking dream
That we try to play like a serenade that nobody owns
As the crow flies across the sky
All I know is the word takes flight
Like the time when you and I say goodbye
Heaven only knows what Hollywood knows
At the screen, it's a talking dream
No one knows if it comes and goes
Is it a typical thing, this thing called love?
Do you need to learn to fly
Or can you simply glide
And take a dive, only to turn like a dip then sweep
And fall in swoop and swallow the sky?
Heaven only knows what Hollywood knows
At the screen, in a talking dream
That we try to play like a serenade that nobody owns
As the crow flies across the sky
All I know is the word takes flight
Like the time when you and I say goodbye
Heaven only knows what Hollywood knows
At the screen, it's a talking dream
