Yeasayer - Let Me Listen in on You lyrics

They're slippin' through the holes again
Those fire ants, they bite
They don't make love like we used to
We don't read by candlelight
And I'll watch out for you, my friend
If you keep an eye on my
Place while I'm out of town
And memorize this handshake so I'll know
You need to be put down

I'd like to help you but my hands are tied
Don't look so nervous
You've got nothin' to hide

I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you

Diggin' through the bottles and
The cans alone
I didn't mean to slice my fingers to the bone
I'm kind of high from your lullaby
I won't admit the reason why

I'd like to help you but my hands are tied
Don't look so nervous
You've got nothin' to hide

I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you

Have you seen the big guns in the bay?
The evil that men do in picture books
We call them brave
Do you need a translator to
Get you through your day?
They're primed and ready to come
Out of their caves
Do you need a translator? Do
You need a translator?
Do you need a translator? Do
You need a translator?

I'd like to help you but my hands are tied
Don't look so guilty
You've got nothin' to hide

I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you
