|
First with your hands and then with your mouth |
|
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds |
|
I was a fool, you were my friend |
|
We made it happen |
|
You took off your clothes, left on the light |
|
You stood there so brave |
|
You used to be shy |
|
Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom |
|
Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach |
|
That weatherman is a liar |
|
He said it would be raining but it's clear and blue as far as I can see |
|
Left by the lamp, right next to the bed, |
|
On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen, |
|
"Everything is as it's always been. |
|
This never happened. |
|
Don't take it too bad it is nothing you did. |
|
It's just once something dies you can't make it live. |
|
You're a beautiful boy. |
|
You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman." |
|
So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet |
|
And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me |
|
And since then I've been so good at vanishing |
|
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth |
|
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me |
|
I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free... |
|
And a little bit empty |
|
No, it isn't so hard to get close to me |
|
There will be no arguments |
|
We will always agree |
|
And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave |
|
We'll both take it easy |
|
But if you stay too long inside my memory, |
|
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody |
|
And I will keep you there so you can't bother me |
