Ooh La La

What among the lovers
What twang of temptation
What brought the house down?

Strange sleepwalkers on the block
Unfamiliar writing on the ceiling
When she looks up

Momma buried pop atop the roof where he slept
One leg on each side of pointed shingles
Latest tests prove that she's happier with more
The oyster is open for any two pearl

Still she's got three different lullabies to sing
These fruited images are delicacies

Was it the fighting was it the fist?
Was it adventure with a jealous twist?
Was it desire for another's kiss?
What brought the house down?

Turmoil and passion, such wondrous things
What they called summer lovers happening in spring
Who's dreaming of who tonight?
Who'll be waking by your side?
At the dawning's first light

Do all he can to save a soon to be dead past
Give it all up to find a new way that will last

Was she wrong to hold his heart another person's hand
The grass is always greener 'til it's covered up with sand
Was it other things?
Fate, felicity?
What rousing temptation?

She knew that love could swell without barricades
Standards must be broken even these
Now she has three different lullabies to sing
These fruited images lead her to sleep

Was it the fighting was it the fist?
Was it adventure with a jealous twist?
Was it desire for another's kiss?
What brought the house down?
What brought the house down?
