Do You Want to Play? Lyrics

Jewel

met her on a friday afternoon / in a neon dayglo pink chiffon satin room / she never looked back / she always looked good dressed in black
and she says oh... / do you want to play?
she lived beneath the disco discount store / with pictures of randy newman scattered all across the floor / i said, "this place looks sort of desolate." / she said, "are you only half alive? / or have you simply always been this inarticulate?"
oh... / do you want to play?
don't think too hard / don't think too fast / don't ever try and say / what you can't take back / don't try and comprehend / what you can't understand / beneath the disco daylight / neon crystal chandelier / pink champagne deity / i said "take it back." / "take it back." / "take it back."
oh... / do you want to play? / oh... / do you want to play?
