White Wine And Fried Chicken

Started in a timeless tradition
Still marking time
The wildest ambitions
Were just false alarms
In this mindless condition
I started to smile
But in time I was wishing
For nothing so wild

You gave me white wine and fried chicken
A new place to stay (a new place to stay)
Where my heart has permission
To sing all the day (sing all the day)
And your smile is resistant
But starting to sway (starting to sway)
Where the wild water's swimming
And leading us astray

We dream ourselves into a new position
And waste all the day
With our blues in remission
We'll keep them at bay
And in time's row permission
The clock fades away
I can hear its heart ticking
With nothing to say

You gave me white wine and fried chicken
A new place to stay (a new place to stay)
Where my heart has permission
To sing all the day (sing all the day)
And your smile is resistant
But starting to sway (starting to sway)
Where the wild water's swimming
And leading us astray
