When He's Not Around lyrics

I can't breathe, I can't sleep

He's uncool an unsophisticat

He's a tightrope walker on an open path

He's a maze of curiosity

He is the living bread that cures my appetite

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep

When he's not around

Everyday is bluey grey

When he's not in town

His mystique is one of innocence

I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes

And I would be preening in paradise

If I were always beside him like a Siamese

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep

When he's not around

Everyday is bluey grey

When he's not in town

When he's not in town

[solos]

Can I keep him in my galaxy?

(Can I keep him in my galaxy?)

Can he live within my fantasy?

(Can he live within my fantasy?)

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep

When he's not around

Everyday is bluey grey

When he's not in town

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep, (I can't sleep)

When he's not around

Everyday is bluey grey

When he's not in town

When he's not in town, Yeah-ie...

[Fade out]
