Bilingual
They say the general public is getting older
And all the children now far beyond their time
The behaviour of young ladies these days
Is nothing but a crime
Eye to the telescope, tears in the eye
Heart in the mouth and head in the sky
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, and I'm a dreamer
To find a way to make you break into a laugh
We're really not that different from a distance looking back
Eye to the telescope, dreams in the glass
Eye in the mouth and stars in the black
In the black
