her iron words rusted in the rain so we had to sit in the hot afternoon restoring the image she had painted with a sweet turn of phrase dazzled by the sunlight i did not see so she played it back for me so slow and sweet if you listen real close to the sound of her viper pen scratch the dry page hear it dragged over like an old man scraping his dead skin how lovely the dance between dark and light wrong and right
and she says.... now i stretch my limbs step so boldly like a cheshire and do it slow so it looks like i got graceful art to my ways wrap myself up in laces and wine keep my smile dark and my lovin eyes on you while i step over the cracks in the sanity of it sip the cool liquids with a careful symmetry sway to the lovely song and wait for you to show me the way
because as a girl she doesn't want appear to be too bold lest she find her bed cold so dance slow with her slow my friend because she will love a gentle breeze more than a wicked wind show your strengths in your hesitations show your moonlight harbinger before you show her your dark dreams she needs to know you are evolved beyond schoolboy charms
so dance real slow and romance yourself with her beauty if you stay she will liberate the lace let you into the palace let you into her long hot summer day scrape you with viper pen
