"Tripping Along" lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS

We were tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping, tripping along
While you're orbiting, might I?
While you're orbiting, might I?
Lick you sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky and sweet
They're all turning a blind eye
They're all turning a blind eye

But oh, what I'd do just to lie with you, die in your arms
What wouldn't I give just to live with that sense of alarm?
But your relatives gathered all clamber about for your mind
And they're tearing and swearing to leave you all naked and blind

So we keep a-ripping, ripping, ripping, ripping rips in the sheets
Till it's all coming undone
Till it's all coming undone
And we're drippy, drippy, drippy, drippy, what messes are we!
And I'm due for a lie-down
And I'm due for a lie-down

But just as I'm cusping on slumber and dumbing my eyes
What spin-twisting vision comes listing and gently alights?
And bothering toddles all over this beautiful light
This fickle young sister's away in the dimming of night

La de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da
Da de da de da de da da da da
