Closer To You

Dan Bern

Please give me notice

So I can buy a ticket for a train

A train I've been hearing

Over and over and again and again

Tonight it seems you're sleepy

So there ain't nothing else to do

'Cept drink and listen to Miles Davis

Down in the Bakerloo



Closer to you, closer to you



Baby let's stop for gas

You can be the leader of the pack

Spain can wait 'til tomorrow

Spain always has

Go ahead try to go further

I'll push your hands away

Don't be worried 'bout

Physically overpowering me today



Closer to you, closer to you



I seen what happens to the boys who love you

Gonna move carefully, real real carefully



I sign for my brothers

Now when I write my name

Shaquille O'Neal don't show up

Drunk for a Laker game

God is down in the mailroom

Sorting what gets sent above

They finally proved scientifically

All you need is love



Closer to you, closer to you
