The box they came in said Cranberry quite clearly
When I walk in them well I don't stumble I don't stumble I don't stumble
I got a new favourite song
And I know all the words I know them start to finish
When I sing along you can hear me all up and down the block I live
I look into my eyes and see that I'm a goddess I'm a goddess I'm a goddess
I got a new crush and it's you
It's just a fun crush a friendly crush don't fear it
But I will give you love and I'll sing about that love to anyone who'll listen
I'll take you to my secret place
You and I can go drinking
And we can sit up high all night and watch the world revolve
No one can see us there and we in turn are all knowing
And if we see the winds of change we'll command them
To do our bidding
Tonight there's something in the air
It could be magic or maybe it's just pollen
But on nights like these I'll dance anywhere and I don't care who sees me
I feel like lighting a fire
A grand inferno just so I can hear it crackle
If it burns too low I'll stomp on the embers with my cranberry heels
And we'll stay out until we're falling down then
You can sleep over at my place
You can have the nicest pillow and I'll lend you my pyjamas
In the morning when we get up you can shower
And I'll make you breakfast
It'll have a lot of fat in it because
Fat is what makes food delicious
