"Call Me Mellow"

Fill the sky with love

Fill the sky with love

I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep

Wistfull and ashen, slightly bedraggled

Last time I saw her she was howling at the moon

Roaming the forest, lupine and rabid

(Bridge)

Woah, is she wild? Does she see my inner child?

(Chorus)

But then she knows it's like a curse

To find our chosen roles reversed

To unify my universe

To call me mellow

If I was only half my age and she was older

We'd live on ice cream on Coney Island

And though it's gravity that drags down my balloon

She stays in orbit way after midnight

(Bridge)

Woah, slip and slide - does she go all dewey-eyed?

(Chorus)

But then she knows it's like a curse

To find our chosen roles reversed

To unify my universe

To call me mellow

(Bridge 2)

She'll dress down for us

She'll break new ground for us

Watching me cracking up

She'll hang round fellahs

With all the ground swellers

Driving me like a truck

(Chorus)

But then she knows it's like a curse

To find our chosen roles reversed

To unify my universe

To call me mellow
