lyrics

Amaryllis

Isn’t it strange how newts have a way
Of growing new limbs when they’re taken

Gussie

And isn’t it strange how hearts have a way
Of growing back when they’ve been broken

Amaryllis

Like the larval stage beginning
When tadpoles start swimming
There’s a metamorphosis inside my soul
I feel whole

If the world were a stage
We’d be the lovers
If the world were a page
We’d conjugate each other
If the world were a newt
You’d be the crest, old pal

Gussie

Isn’t is great how newts find a mate
By waving their tails ‘til they vibrate

Amaryllis

And isn’t it naff how humans are daft
And only find love when it’s too late

Can’t you stop these spires from dreaming
And scheming – and screaming
I just want to hibernate and hide away
‘Til the day

Both

When the world is a stage
And we are the lovers
The world is a page
We’ll conjugate each other
The world is a newt
And you’ll be the crest, old pal!
