Love Is A Laserquest

do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now

or, darling, have you started feeling old yet

don't worry, i'm sure that you're still breaking hearts

with the efficiency that only youth can harness

and do you still think love is a laserquest

or do you take it all more seriously

i've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that i've had

but you're always busy being make-believe

and do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there

or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered



well i'm not being honest, i'll pretend that you were just some lover

now i can't think of there without thinking of you

i doubt that comes as a surprise

and i can't think of anything to dream about

i can't find anywhere to hide

and when i'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes

and i convince myself i need another

and for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover



when i'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair

singing dreadful songs about something

well i've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover

well i've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover
