Pretty Please

It's dark in this apartment

It's 103 outside

I don't dare to crack a curtain

Til half past nine

Maybe you'll come over

Even if you said you can't

Cause the heat is in the pressure

And the pressure is out of my hands

Pretty please oh please you're so pretty

And you move in these O'Keeffian lines

A murmuration singing sweet in my city

I'm replying through the power lines

There's static in the carpet

It's cracklin' on the line

I know the cure is in the fadeout

And in heartache and time

You're my berry in the icebox

You're my tambourine shake

You're my quarter on the sidewalk

You're my floodgate

Pretty please oh please you're so pretty

And you move in these O'Keeffian lines

A murmuration singing sweet in my city

I'm replying through the power lines

Pretty please oh please you're so pretty

And you move in these O'Keeffian lines

You draw me in and I know I'm just visiting

But maybe we're the right time

This time
