she's a ****** but she's in my bed
not the right place
for placid innocence to slumber
not tonight at least

i am a tiger
she is tiny prey
shaking, shivering, seducing
she doesn't know a thing

she sleeps sober
drunk and wild
i pounce
i want to
pounce

but the echoes of a child remind me
there is no place for darkness here
at least not tonight
