Let Me Take You Home Tonight
I want to put my hands in your pockets
To feel the muscles in your thighs
And it makes me want to wear you like a crown
Until the weight of you doubles my back into tantric
And forces out of us the sounds
Of open windowed honeymoons
And shameful moans
Slipping through the jail of my fingers over your mouth
And it’s only shameful this time
Because we are outside
Please if you could
Keep the ***** talk going until
We’ve soiled the blood-money to sopping
In the imaginary world of the things you make me say
Guilty started once you took your coat off
We’ve shed this skin to sin
And now I’m just lightning
Stabbing at your thunder
What’s your name again?
You can make it up
I will shout anything you want me to
Into the darkness of wherever
I am open to anything
Promise
You don’t have to feel bad in the morning
I can pretend we never met in public
It’s not like I can take you dancing
I have two left feet
I won’t buy you drinks
You wouldn’t take them anyway
I will even look the other way
When some other guy dishes out
His disaster for you to break your bones in
He doesn’t mean anything anyway
Just know
I am probably sleeping alone if you’re not here
But I won’t always be thinking about you
