She said "You're terrible at stayin'

Probably better that your goin'

All the love that you have stolen is a crime"

But I don't wanna lean on your piece of glass, just to fly

She said "You're always looking inside, why not reaching outside

Put some focus on a picture perfect wife."

I said "The earth is turning 'round, you know

The wind is changing also

Don't you think the same laws might apply to life?"

But I don't want to lean on your wedding bell

Fare thee well

I'll remain your friend 'til we meet again

In the twilight

I said everything is blurry

I almost can't tell you apart from all the other girls

Except you don't complain

She said "Better fix your vision but I prefer the precision

Of everybody looking much the same"

But I don't wanna lean on your paper back, let's turn the page

I will cheer you on 'til your game dissolves

In the twilight

Oh, oh Magdalene, I love you

You think I'm insane

Well I'm leaving on evening's train

Ah, hey Madonna, do the honors and pray for the day

Is the sun so selfish, because it will set now?

Is the wind a jerk because it change?

Would you call the earth an asshole

For turning 'round 'n' round you know

It never ever stays in just one place

Now if I'm not mistaken, the natural equation would be

You and I as best of friends for life

Cross all your lines and numbers

And wake up from the slumber

Into a dream of neither day or night

But I don't want to lean on your wedding bell

Fare thee well

I'll remain your friend 'til we meet again

In the twilight

In the twilight
