lyrics

You had your best suit on and modified
I had myself airbrushed and colorized in chrome
We got our best sides in digital
And the rest they got on Kodachrome
If this develops into something more
Then maybe we’ll be leaving alone

You make small talk sound like world affairs
A Baccarat from paper cup
I’m so in love
I’m so in love
I can’t get up

The way that talk gets round its criminal
The water cooler feigns a heart attack
So, I write my number on the back of an office pad
When I put it down, you’ll pick it up
We’ll slip out at separate times, in separate cars
And no one will know that we left

I’ll tell the doorman to let you in
You tell him where your car is parked
You can sleep on the davenport
So, you don’t wake when I get up
Three is the best time
Three is the best time to come around

Will you be coming like you said you are?
Or will I be burned like Joan of Arc?
I’m cool as water as I wait for you
But inside I burn like Joan of Arc
3 is the best time
3 is the best time to come around
