Watch her
She will leave. Just as fast as you can blink
Watch her
She will leave. Despite what you may feel or think.
Catch her
If you can. She will fade with every breath
Catch her
If you care. She will be your worst regret.

You told me you were heartless
But I didn't believe you
Because even though I never felt your heart beat
I heard it
Every time I laid my head on your chest.
But I believe you now
I realize now it was not your heart I was hearing
It was just your demons banging around.

He was my light
In my world of haze
In this town I ran and ran, desperate for a way out
In this fancy house that echoes when I breathe  
In this life where I sold my soul searching for love
And then there was you

She was my light
In my world of midnight
In my city smothered by smoke
In this crack house barely standing on Grand Ave
In this life where I hustled because love is for fools
But then there was you


He splashed my brain with *******
She cracked through my barrier with her purity
He filled my days with something real, something I could touch
She stayed for laughter, she stayed for love
We collided and we became a dominate force.

Vintage baby
With your 519 Levi's and high tops
Slicked hair, don't care
Soft eyes you risen angel
Vintage baby
You got me
Yeah, you got me
You got me good
I got it bad
Watching you against your '67 Camero  
Slowly ashing away your drag

You've always got some pretty little thing
Mid week comes and she has a new name
You're rugged baby
Made for heartache, a physical heart break
Modern day Greaser
The baddest in the school
I wonder about you as I sun bathe in my pool
Walking home or running from basic
Good girl I stay but watching you is toxic
Give me a chance baby, I promise you'd like it
Turn a good girl into a terrible classic babe
I promise you'd like it

HIM
You speak of Him
But who is he?
Is he a man of your past
Or a figure of your dreams
Did he really steal your heart
Or did you give it to him willingly
Tell me who is he

You speak of Him
And I wonder what he is
Was he some kind of savior
Or a dark abyss
Did he turn your walls inside you black
Or free you with every kiss
Please tell me dear sister who he is

He was the sky and the heavens
With a splash of hell
I wasn't expecting to fall so far so fast
With just an introduction to his world
He did steal my heart
But I suppose I consented
To be honest, I can't recall
I've been so disconnected
I'm not sure what he was anymore
Or if it all was even real
I wake up every morning
And can't determine how I feel
He may have been great
Or he may have been terrible
The more I think about him the more his memory
Fades from my cerebral
I am without memory and without feeling
My days have turned grim
So you decide for yourself about who he is
This is the after effect of Him

Sweet as candy, lemon squeeze
I religiously take 2 sugar cubes in my morning tea
Unless it is Sunday, then I have 3
But I lose track of days so I always take 3
I dye my hair white so that I can wear organic fleece
Imported from the marketplace in Venice, Italy
I like rainbow sprinkles melted on my Bitto cheese
Would you be so kind to fetch me some, please?
Oh yes, I adore my little castle on the edge of Rimini
I open my kitchen cabinets to feel the salty breeze
I don't ever leave.
My hallways play music so that I can tap dance and sing
In the southwest corridor I lay down to watch the ceiling
Gold on my fingers and diamonds on my feet
I am the queen of my city
And I defy lucidity
Don't ask...

Let your kisses smell like Daisy's
And your skin be soft as velvet
May your wishes sparkle your days
And your nights be forever enchanted.
