[Verse 1]
If I stay the night, will I fall in love?
If I stroke your hair, it's gonna hurt so much
Stranded in the Kalahari, will you share your flask?

[Chorus]
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you

Why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
[Verse 2]

But if I stay the night, will I fall in love?
[Chorus]
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you
Oh, why, why, why do my flowers always die?
Why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
[Bridge]

I burn in your heat
Supernova and cosmic dust
You spawn galaxies
We'll sleep together, sleep together, sleep forever
We'll sleep together, sleep forever minus one
Say those forbidden words to me
Eagle girl
[Chorus]
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you
Oh, why, why, why do my flowers always die?
Why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
