[Verse 1]
Theyre slipping through the holes again
Those fire ants they bite
And they dont make love like we used to
We dont read by candlelight

[Verse 2]
And Ill watch out for you my friend
If you keep an eye on my place while Im out of town
And memorize this handshake so Ill know you need to be put down

[Pre-Chorus]
Id like to help you but my hands are tied
Dont look so nervous youve got nothing to hide

[Chorus]
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you

[Verse 3]
Digging through the bottles and the cans alone
I didnt mean to slice my fingers to the bone
Im kind of high from your lullaby
I wont admit the reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
Id like to help you but my hands are tied
Dont look so nervous youve got nothing to hide

[Chorus]
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you

[Bridge]
Have you seen the big guns in the bay?
The evil that men do in picture books we call them brave
Do you need a translator to get you through your day?
Theyre primed and ready to come out of their caves
Do you need a translator?
Do you need a translator?

[Pre-Chorus]
Id like to help you but my hands are tied
Dont look so guilty youve got nothing to hide

[Chorus]
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
I can make your dreams come true
If you let me listen in on you
Let me listen in on you
