lyrics

Venus Walks

Like the the girl from Ipanema
In a John Hughes film
An other-worldly creature
Not quite over the hill
I never got a chance to meet her
And I regret it still

Be still my trembling hands
True beauty walks on common ground
Venus wearing nothing but a frown
Painted faces in the round and I’m undone
Yeah I wondered were you looking for someone
Or just for fun

The only thing that says I’m a grown-up
Is the date on my passport
Man-child making a mess of it all
Just be careful what you ask for
I never knew if you were coming back
Or if your mind was made up

Be still my trembling hands
True beauty walks on common ground
Venus wearing nothing but a crown
Whispered sermons as she slowly makes her way
With a smile that started wars back in the day
Back in the day

I never knew if you were coming back
Or if your mind was made up (repeat)

Like the the girl from Ipanema
In a John Hughes film
An other-worldly creature
Not quite over the hill
I never got a chance to meet her
But one day I will…
