[Verse 1]
Look at me
I'm on fire
Getting on down to the wire
I feel up
Never tire
Only one thing I desire
[Verse 2]
I smell good
Like some flowers
Never abuse all my powers
You're my sweet
Don't go sour
Love you for hours and hours
(Works better when you forget to try)
[Chorus]
Distant sleeping peacefully
Brother won't you come with me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Distant sleeping peacefully
Brother won't you come with me
Brother won't you come with me
[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Works better when you forget to try)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Please don't try so hard
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Please don't try so hard
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Please don't try so hard
Please don't try so hard
