Lyrics
Always looking for attention Always needs to be mentioned Who does she think she should be?
The shrill cry through darkening air Doesn't she know he's Had such a busy day?
Tell her...shh Somebody tell her...shh
No way, no way There's no movement, no Hooray
It was only a test But she swam too far against the tide She deserves all she gets
The sky became mad with stars As an out-stretched arm slowly disappears
Hooray Oh, hooray No, there's no movement, no Hooray, hooray
Please don't worry there'll be no fuss She was...nobody's nothing
When he awoke the sea was calm And another day passes like a dream
There's no, no way
