[Verse 1]

You know the way my blood runs

'Cause darlin' you're the only one

Can you and I go somewhere?

Go somewhere we can be alone

Lying like John and Yoko

Or fake our deaths and leave

Am I tripping, are you with me?

'Cause darlin' you're the only one


[Pre-Chorus]

The world is going mad

You and I can hide away

I can't stand the TV screen

Turn it off, pull the plug

They can try, they won't find us


[Chorus]

Slow down your heartbeat

Close your eyes and don't speak

And lay with my body

Play dead, play dead with me

No need to escape

We can find our own way

You got me hiding in cupboards

Play dead, play dead with me


[Verse 2]

We'll stock up some ration

So we don't have to leave this room

I'm dead, don't care what happens

As long as I'm in here with you


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause the world is going mad

You and I should hide away

I can't stand the TV screen

Turn it off, pull the plug

They can try, they won't find us


[Chorus]

Slow down your heartbeat

Close your eyes and don't speak

And lay with my body

Play dead, play dead with me

No need to escape

We can find our own way

You got me hiding in cupboards

Play dead, play dead with me


[Bridge]

You know that I was quiet

We'll walk outside into the show

We'll run a light in thousands

'Cause everybody else is growing old


[Chorus]

So slow down your heartbeat

Close your eyes and don't speak

Lay here with my body

Play dead

Slow down your heartbeat

Close your eyes and don't speak

And lay with my body

Play dead, play dead with me

No need to escape

We can find our own way

You got me hiding in cupboards

Play dead, play dead with me

Play dead with me

Play dead, play dead with me
