Lyrics to Featherweight
It was like a movie
On the waves at night
Barely escaping with our lives
We took your boat from Red Hook
Towards the copper lights
We had forever, but no time
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left to take?
You were still standing like
A featherweight
It was like a movie
Knocking on the door
Whispering the password
Oh, radical believers
Forgive you if you stray
A notion of doubt is no match for an ounce of faith
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left to take?
You were still standing like
A featherweight
(Ooh, oh)
Come back down
(Ooh, oh)
You're floating now
You don't need to wake up
Now that you've stayed up
All night long
(Ooh, oh)
You're floating now
On the waves at night
Barely escaping with our lives
We took your boat from Red Hook
Towards the copper lights
We had forever, but no time
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left to take?
You were still standing like
A featherweight
It was like a movie
Knocking on the door
Whispering the password
Oh, radical believers
Forgive you if you stray
A notion of doubt is no match for an ounce of faith
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left to take?
You were still standing like
A featherweight
(Ooh, oh)
Come back down
(Ooh, oh)
You're floating now
You don't need to wake up
Now that you've stayed up
All night long
(Ooh, oh)
You're floating now
