Well I’m sitting here waiting for hell to freeze over
I’m sitting here waiting for my world to cave in
I’m sitting here waiting, waiting for my diamond
My diamond in the rough

First you give me a kiss and
Tell me to shut up
And to take my wet clothes off

Has it been too long
Pure and easy
Pure and easy

Well she never complains ’bout the wind or the rain
Or the things that she can’t change
She don’t need TV and she don’t need much sleep
And in my hour of need she’s got an hour for me

And if I need a doctor
She says stick out your tongue and say ah
Pure and easy
Pure and easy
Pure
And easy

Well I’m sitting here waiting for hell to freeze over
I’m sitting here waiting for my world to cave in
I’m sitting here waiting, waiting for my diamond
My diamond in the rough

First you give me a kiss and
Tell me to shut up
And take those wet clothes off
And you come on up, to
Pure and easy
Pure and easy
That’s right
Oh, here it comes
Pure and easy
Pure and easy

Pure and easy
If you’re uneasy

I am an admiral of the sea
And I’m known from far and wide inside the admiralty
What’s this ahead, in front of me?
I am an admiral of the sea
I am an admiral of the land
And there’s many men and armies under my command
When things are getting out of hand
I am an admiral of the land
I am an admiral of the air
And I look at you when I fly by, oh I don’t care
Look out, be careful, and beware
I am an admiral of the air

I am an admiral of the fire
But you probably could tell me by my black attire
Flames rising higher and higher
I am an admiral of the fire
I am an admiral of the sea
And I’m known from far and wide inside the admiralty
What’s this ahead, in front of me?
I am an admiral of the sea
I am an admiral of the air
And I look at you when I fly by, oh I don’t care
Look out, be careful, and beware
I am an admiral of the air

Can we erase our history
Is it as easy as this
Plausible deniability
I swear I’ve never heard of it
And I can close the door on us
But the room still exists
And I know you’re in it

Hours of phrases I’ve memorised
Thousands of lines on the page
All of my notes in a desolate pile
I haven’t touched in an age
And I can burn the evidence
But I can’t burn the pain
And I can’t forget it

How does it feel
To be an expert in a dying field
How do you know
It’s over when you can’t let go
You can’t stop
Can’t rewind
Love is learned over time
‘Til your an expert in a dying field

The city is painted with memory
The water will never run clear
The birds and the bees and the flowers and trees
They know that we’ve both been here
And I can flee the country for the worst of the year
But I’ll come back to it

How does it feel
To be an expert in a dying field
How do you know
It’s over when you can’t let go
You can’t stop
Can’t rewind
Love is learned over time
‘Til you’re an expert in a dying field

Can we erase our history
Is it as easy as this
Maybe in other realities
The road never took this twist
And I can close the door on us
But the room still exists

I just want a lover like any other, what do I get?
I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
I’m in distress, I need a caress, what do I get?
I’m not on the make, I just need a break, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things, seem to turn out right
I wish they’d only happen to me instead
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
Ah
I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you, things seem to turn out right
I wish they’d only happen to me instead
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
I just want a lover like any other, what do I get?
I only want a friend who will love to the end, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
Well, let me tell you now
(What do I get?)
(What do I get?) No love
(What do I get?) No sleep at nights
(What do I get?) Nothing that’s nice
(What do I get?) Nothing at all, at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all ’cause I don’t get you
