lyrics
I'm half composed and half alarmed
I am the ice cream cone; you are the midday sun
If I could read you like a book
You would be in Braille
I'd use my fingertips to find the answers
One step forward
One step back
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
I grasp a rung
You roll a six
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
Late night telephone lines
They thread my words like beads
I pick and choose them carefully
But oh no, I've said too much
I am piano keys
Under a down-pressed palm
One step forward
One step back
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
I grasp a rung
You roll a six
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
I'm not ready to become the girlfriend next door
I'd rather be your Lauren Bacall
One step forward
One step back
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
I grasp a rung
You roll a six
We're playing Snakes and Ladders
