She was a raggered haggered cat
Who caught them thistles in the air
And she gave all that she got
To cause a ruckus and a scare
But when she cottoned on to Elvis' stick
With his velvet thickened hair
She grabbed more than she should've caught
In one fell swoop and snare
Lost all flavour with that candied name
Tossed her future with her flare
Now just a glorified rat
A scandal for all who care
She skirts around the lights and hides where others might
But wouldn't dare

So baby I don't really know your name
But lately I've been seeing you all of the time
So could you please tell me
If you've noticed me at all
Cause I'd like to know you
Just a little bit more

So tell me go ahead and tell it to me straight
I'm open to the possibilities we make
in this world
And I'd like to see something through
And I'd like to see it through with you

So don't be shy I'm terrified
And I'm here on a limb
Hoping that you'll save me from a life I've given in to
lately

Oh please come save me honey
Won't you come save me
from myself

You've been working so hard for it
Aching for the path that you hope will be on your side
This time
And you know that you're giving
All you've got and you're living
Like you're not
So give
Go on give in
This time

Say you wanted a different kind of life
Inspite of all of your trying
I know you have been lying
To yourself
For the longest winding mile
So go give in
This time

For the dream it is fading
In the scene if your own making
And you hope you'll wake soon
This time

But your eyes are wide open
And your heart has shut tight
And you know that you're choking
On the part that takes flight
From this life
You hardly recognise anymore

So go ahead close your eyes
Dream instead of those lies
You tell yourself late at night
In the guise you'll get through your woes
That beckon you to come hide

Or this time give some meaning
To the world you'll end up leaving
Without you
Without ever having known you
By its side

Darlin you're a dreamer
And a fool I've come to know
It's written in the pools of rain
That we're destined for the stars to fall
So sway a while with me
Just wait
And you will see the whale of time
Slow us down
And spin us round and round
That heady bend
Spin us like a top
And for a while the world
Revolves around the swirl we've spun
We're spiders spinning in the mist
Our cobwebs are all made to see
Our demons are all made to flee
So spin for me a while
My darlin dreamer of the night
Bash away those darkened corners
Of my wandering battered mind
Sing the songs that you know well
Will make me squeal with young delight

They say I see things different
To the way they see the truth
They brandish me unruly, unkempt
And for kicks toss in uncouth
They tell me if I keep my ways
Hell, Id be playing just to lose

But I say I am no gambler
And I swear I'm not a liar
And I scream I'm not on trial here
So go ahead and cast your noose

You're a bigot and a fraud
And a sadist and a fiend
You wanna see me squirm and squeal
Just to prove you can be mean

But I got something more than you, you know
More than you will ever have
It's knowledge I may go down this time
But I'll be going down
With the upper hand

For those who think the troubles thin
Along the path and up that *****
He who holds the tethered rope
Is he who'll be the first to throw
Caution to the fickle wind
Heartbreak wrapped in a cloak of sin
All of it a whim on the hallowed sky
Divine oh it may be
We'll only ever know
Alone
No one to share what we ourselves are destined for

Maybe I'm too young to know
Or too young to think I know it all
Perhaps too old to give in and care
But tonight I see the fallen stir
Willing itself to curse defeat and accept a final dare
Willing itself to even out a rotten score

Pretty in the sight of you
Sweetness in sun
Those darkened corners where ghosts are scattered no longer lie in wait of an awakened fate
You've promised to hold me close and tight
Forever you said
Closer still you've come to the forever I feared would ****** away in the blink I hadn't seen coming
Forever you said
Doll face kisses and lillypad glances
I chose that moment to believe
I chose that moment to forget
Sweetened kisses and lillybin misses
Honey you're a glow worm
In the sway of the heat you're that cool and calm gem
In the dusk before I sleep you may be the one I'd wanna play for keeps
