She's my oxygen, my acetylene
She's the sugar in my caffeine
The sweetest girl I ever did see
People say she's too good for me, occasionally

She's decidedly un-simple
She's the angel in my temple
And I don't question what she wants of me
I play along quite happily, oh yeah

When she says
See me in the darkness
Hear me in the silence
Let me feel the fire
Burning underwater

In a playground she's eleven
In a bookstore she's in heaven
In the fine tradition of great fiction
We celebrate our addiction, oh yeah

And she says
See me in the darkness
Hear me in the silence
Let me feel the fire
Burning underwater

(jamming underwater)

Oh she says
See me in the darkness
Hear me in the silence
Let me feel the fire
Burning underwater
