Southern Suburbs

Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me Fill a bowl with roses When evening closes In on my dreams Come and cool my forehead And put me in my bed I feel feverish And I know it's not the truth It's only me and only you But it's an endless fall I'm falling And I can only heed my calling Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me I could hear you coming You were a hummingbird hovering I think you're so pretty Not far from the city In our Eden And I know it's not the truth It's only me and only you But it's an endless fall I'm falling And I can only heed my calling You keep me hanging tight Suspended like an epiphyte And I won't let go I know that I'm right My love Don't try to calm me down Don't calm me down Calm me down I'll calm down Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? I wanna take you over Like you're taking over me Can I be your lover In the Southern Suburbs? I wanna run for cover Under the canopy Can I please come over In my green Land Rover? You're like a bossa nova Playing in the heart of me --- Southern Suburbs - Beatenberg
