Everyone knows,
That you get butterflies when feelings unfold
But this time my heart had a stranger wish
It's full, but of a different animal
This time (Tropical Fish)
This time
Desire Desire (Tropical Fish)
This time...
Our lovelight glows
Like a tank, reflected on a TV left on grainey angels
But from a speaker in your heart I heard this song
It was strong -- it just went on and on and on
This time (Tropical Fish)
This time
Desire Desire (Tropical Fish)
This time...
Their delicate skin makes me cry
I think you know
You can see that my eyes are hatching minnows
And to fool you you know I often try
But these animals don't lie
This time (Tropical Fish)
This time
Desire Desire (Tropical Fish)
This time...
