The Stakes Are High

Stakes Are High - Ezra Furman And The Harpoons

I dove into your heart like a pool

But there was no water in it

And I felt like a fool

When I hit the concrete bottom

And I broke in two

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

Walked to the hotel through the door

But the man at the desk

Said you weren't staying there no more

And I felt so stupid so sorry

That I called you a whore

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

You were just doing what you had to do

And I feel so dumb

For being mad at you ooh

I can't stay mad I can't stay mad at you

I can't stay mad I can't stay mad at you

My heart is full

I've got no room no room

I grew up with my family

But I didn't not want to leave

And I cried like a baby

I asked could I ever come back home

And my Dad said Maybe

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

So I found a new place to live

But I had trouble figuring out

What's not real and what is

The big city was so crazy

I could hardly even breathe

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

And now I'm living in a fantasy

And I will always live there probably ooh

You could move in you could move in with me

You could move in you could move in with me

The stakes are high the trees are green okay

We're all just doing what we have to do

Nothing will ever be like

It was back in ninteen ninty two no-o

And I can't stay mad I can't stay mad at you

I can't stay mad I can't stay mad at you

My heart's real full but I'll make room

I'll make room

I'll make room I'll make room oh ho

Okay well

Woh-oh woh-oh

Woh-oh woh-oh

Woh-oh woh-oh

Woh-oh woh-oh

I got tell you that the stakes are high

And the stakes

Are high the trees are green

And don't be mean and don't be mean

N-n-n-n-n-no

Woh-oh woh-oh

Woh-oh woh-oh

Woh-oh woh-oh
