Southern Suburbs - Beatenberg

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me

Fill a bowl with roses

When evening closes

In on my dreams

Come and cool my forehead

And put me in my bed

I feel feverish

And I know it's not the truth

It's only me and only you

But it's an endless fall I'm falling

And I can only heed my calling

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me

I could hear you coming

You were a hummingbird

Hovering

I think you're so pretty

Not far from the city

In our Eden

And I know it's not the truth

It's only me and only you

But it's an endless fall I'm falling

And I can only heed my calling

You keep me hanging tight

Suspended like an epiphyte

And I won't let go

I know that I'm right

My love

Don't try to calm me down

Don't calm me down

Calm me down

I'll calm down

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover

I wanna take you over

Like you take you over me

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me
