"Ratcliff" lyrics - TORO Y MOI

TORO Y MOI
"Ratcliff"
(Chaz Bundick)

A doctor and her lover settled in a Ratcliff home
Taking day trips to Bolinas, they can barely see the road
She says, "My meeting's cancelled, in the morning, let's stay"
So baby please wait

[Chorus:]
Let me give you a hug until this haze lets light touch your eyes
Or at least 'til the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock n' roll is here to stay

A boy who sings about how he's in a squeeze
Ends up oranges and an unused degree
She wears those earrings almost everyday
Trapezoid shapes, Everything seems so simple
You can't tell if it's basically fake, scenes from a tape
Cars on the edge passing hill after hill

[Chorus:]
Let me give you a hug until this haze lets light touch your eyes
Or at least 'til the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock n' roll is here to stay
