Chasing all the
Snail trails.
Where are you goin'?
Where are you going Regina?
I've got a blind date with a knight of the infinite.
Resignation. Resigna-a-ation.
Resignation. Resigna-a-ation.
Does he… does he… does he…
Read you bed time stories?
Did he tell you what he dreamt
Last night?
I've got a blind date with a knight of the infinite.
I've got a blind date with a knight of the infinite.
Soren loved Regina. Soren loved…
Soren loved Regina. Soren loved…
Aah love.
