Another Bubble
Robyn Hitchcock · Luminous Groove [2008]
Another and she's not the first
She'll only bring you trouble
Don't touch her or, you know, she'll burst
I say oh-whoa, baby I know
She's only an illusion
Shimmering inside your heart
She's only a delusion
But she can tear your world apart
I say oh-whoa, baby I know
It takes two and one of them is always you
It takes two and one of them is someone, too
She's just another human
And when you get up close, you'll see
Now what you gonna do, man
Don't make her what you'll never be
I say oh-whoa, baby I know
She's just another bubble
Another and she's not the first
She'll only bring you trouble
Don't touch her or, you know, she'll burst
I said oh-whoa, baby I know
And I say oh-whoa, baby I know
Yeah, I said oh-whoa, baby I know
And I said oh-whoa, baby I know
