Paroles de Human Shield

if I had an ounce of charm

I would take you by the arm

and you would not resist the pull
I know it sounds improbable

but it happens every day to people

just like you and me



if I had a lick of sense

I would wear down your defense

and kiss you while your eyes are shut

I know it sounds unlikely but

it's still the only way two people

share one frequency
why you hold your body like a weapon you can wield

as a human shield



I see you sitting on the couch

I see you fiddle with your blouse

I watch you take a sip of tea

I can't believe it's up to me



the planets kiss/the seasons shift

the major fall/the minor lift

the winter coats/the summer skirts

the autumn leaves/the springtime flirts

if I could overcome my fear

then this could be a banner year

and it happens every day to people

and what else can you say to people

just like you and me?
