Dec 2012
It seemed like a good idea at the time
Clear liquid with a scorpion, asleep
At the bottom of the bottle
But oh how those feelings creep
Up, blurred and spun
As people turn to ghosts
And shadows start to run
Towards the music, loud, so loud
And I lose faith in my feet
Swept up in the crowd
Mouths and bodies meet
And sweat drips down, down
My neck and Iā€™m dizzy and twisting
By the records, by the fire
And inside Iā€™m not missing
That loss of desire
For once, a mental break
The one-night vacation
I needed to take
