Here I go, Geronimo, Vertigo to free fall
The girl sets my heart racing, but my engine is stalled
Now I pace myself 'cause I gotta stay in front man
Blast like an astronaut, crash like a stunt manTo worlds where witty boys get the pretty girls they merit
But she holds the saddle, the stick, the carrot
So I rise like degrees in July or fall faster
Luck is a lady, but I wouldn't put it past herAs she fills me with thrills like a roller coaster
Or slams me with amps like a bath with a toaster
Now my knees are shaking and I find my spine is gone
From holding up the pedestal that I've put her onI should've studied science 'cause I tend to forget
That for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction
Well, I must've slept through that one
'Cause now I'm on thin ice with no traction
Is she thinking of you?
No she just thought she knew me
But she's looking at you
No she's looking through meAnd now I realize I've got no shape or size
To the girl with the world in her eyes
So I keep bouncingShall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Or concede to Morrissey that pretty girls make graves
I've shed the serpents skin and lost my head like Ann BoleynWhile rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
I ask you for this glance through vast expanse of thin veneers
Steered by butterfly eyes while drinking drinks of siren's tears
I fear the reaper 'cause it's hard like heavy metalWhen the beasts that you beat off are handsome devils
Yet, the consequence of compliments
Is that I am graced with graces periodic like the elements
Her imminence influences subatomics
So I want to do her right like Shakespeare does a sonnet
I'm on it, harassed by bees in bonnets
Slave to her affection like gramps to gin and tonics
Loyal to my master like a pack of Pekingese
While I try to hold my place with weakened kneesIs she thinking of you?
No she just thought she knew me
But she's looking at you
No she's looking through meAnd now I realize I've got no shape or size
To the girl with the world in her eyes
So I keep bouncingMaybe I should call you up, so we can spend some time together
Take a walk or have some dinner, I don't care I'll do whatever
My heart shivers every single time I get a busy signal
Can I get an operator?So you know if she said bounce with me, I'd bounce with her
'Cause every minute that I'm in it counts with her
There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her
And if she gave me half a glance then I would counsel herThat she should bounce with me, so I can bounce with her
'Cause every minute that I'm in it really counts with her
There's only one sin I wouldn't renounce for her
But do I have a chanceIs she thinking of you?
No she just thought she knew me
But she's looking at you
No she's looking through meAnd now I realize I've got no shape or size
To the girl with the world in her eyes
So I keep bouncing
Yeah, she's got the world in her eyes
