Closer To You

Dan Bern


Please give me notice 
So I can buy a ticket for a train 
A train I've been hearing 
Over and over again and again 

Tonight it seems you're sleepy 
So there ain't nothing else to do 
'Cept drink and listen to Miles Davis 
Down in the Bakerloo 

Closer to you, closer to you 

Baby let's stop for gas 
You can be the leader of the pack 
Spain can wait 'til tomorrow 
Spain always has 

Go ahead try to go further 
I'll push your hands away 
Don't be worried 'bout 
Physically overpowering me today 

Closer to you, closer to you 

I seen what happens to the boys who love you 
Gonna move carefully, real real carefully 

I sign for my brothers 
Now when I write my name 
Shaquille O'Neal don't show up 
Drunk for a Laker game 

God is down in the mailroom 
Sorting what gets sent above 
They finally proved scientifically 
All you need is love 

Closer to you, closer to you
