"lost in admiration - happy birthday - i'm forever yours - blossom"
faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies i smiled surprised at how when flickered through the wings flew by spelled out my name... six months went by the summer lost obsessively the letters dropped into my life the same soft blood smooth flowing hand "please try to understand - i have to see you - have to feel you - tell you all the ways i need you - yours forever in love... " strange attraction spreads it's wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads it's wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade the year grew old incessantly she wrote to me she'd started smoking poetry! i laughed in recognition of a favourite phrase she'd pulled me in... i answered her a christmas card in sepia arranging when and where and how the two of us should meet... her opening so well prepared a nervous smile i couldn't take my eyes from her she whispered "can i use some of your lipstick?" it was perfect so believable i couldn't help but feel that it was real and kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms... strange attraction spreads it's wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads it's wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade so alone into the cold new year without another word from her i wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring but weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came and with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same... "i'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination - i was sure you'd be the one but i was wrong - it seems reality destroys our dreams - i won't forget you - blossom" faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes... strange attraction spreads it's wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads it's wings and alters but the smallest things and you never know... |

'Everyone feels good in the room,' she swings
'Two chord cool in the head,' she sings 'A-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees...' Tell me this is not for real Please simply this is not for real... From time to time her eyes get wide And she's always got them stuck on me I'm surprised at how hot honey-colored and hungry she looks And I have to turn away to keep from bursting Yeah I feel that good She slips from the stage A foot no more But it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floor And the two chord cool still grooves As she slides towards me smooth as a snake I can't swallow I just start to shake And I just know this is a big mistake Yeah but it feels good! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! 'If you want I can take you on another kind of ride...' 'Believe me I would but...' Deep inside the 'but' is 'please' I am yearning for another taste And my shaking is 'yes' 'You will be all the things in the world you've never been See all the things in the world you've never seen Dream all the things in the world you've never dreamed...' But I think I get a bit confused Am I seducing or being seduced? Oh I know that tomorrow I'll feel bad But I really couldn't care about that She's grinning, singing, spinning me round and round Smiling as I start to fall Her face gets big, her face gets small It's like tonight I'm really not me at all And it feels good! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! It feels good! |

How each of us decides
I've never been sure The part we play The way we are How each of us denies any other way in the world Why each of us must choose I've never understood One special friend One true love Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world However unsure However unwise Day after day play out our lives However confused Pretending to know to the end But this isn't truth this isn't right This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real This is a lie How each of us believes I've never really known In heaven unseen and hell unknown How each of us dreams to understand anything at all Why each of us decides I've never been sure The part we take The way we are Why each of us denies every other way in the world However unsure However unwise Day after day play out our lives However confused Pretending to know to the end But this isn't truth this isn't right This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real This is a lie This isn't truth this isn't right This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real This is a lie |
