Lyrics
Distraction, Distraction
Waiting here in the wings
While you gaze on shiny things
How can I gain your affection
How can I hold your attention
How can I stop this
Distraction, Distraction
She’s the one who bends your ear
I’m the one who wipes a tear
How can I gain your affection
How can I hold your attention
How can I stop this
Distraction, Distraction
Distraction, Distraction
All that glitters is not gold
All that shivers is not cold
All that silence that you fear
Would be golden if I were near
I’ll live to love another day
You turn to watch me walk away
How can I gain your affection
How can I hold your attention
How can I stop this
Distraction, Distraction
Distraction, Distraction
Ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh
She’s the one who bends your ear
I’m the one who wipes a tear
