Lyrics
You put on the rock star station
You brush my long blonde hair
We rant about the prime minister
And the neighbours we can’t stand
Who kissed the wishbone scar
Etched on my top lip?
I will whistle to your songs
Till you say stop it
I’ve got this instant death feelin’ baby
It’s the last time you mean this, lately
I’ve been cruel to you
You’ve been feelin’ cobalt blue
Sundown
Hot and heavy
And I’m swimming in my nightgown
I’ll be your beach baby
No one is around
Bet you think that I’m a freak
You stand and smile at me
Will you want me just the same
When I’m not 23?
I’ve got this instant death feelin’ baby
It’s the last time you mean this, lately
I’ve been cruel to you
You’ve been feelin’ cobalt blue
I’ve been cruel to you
You’ve been feelin’ cobalt blue
I’ve got this instant death feelin’ baby
it’s the last time you mean this, lately
I’ve been cruel to you
You’ve been feelin’ cobalt blue
You’ve been feelin’, feelin’, feelin’ cobalt blue
