A simple proposition
A simple night of passion
Tell me I'm not crazy
Talk me down, give me ration.
Intuition is a home
Dusty with neglect
No longer is it clear for me
Whatever is correct.
A harmless fixation
Pachabel's consumption
A dinner bell clatter
Two for tea for two for luncheon.
Unrequited love
Is a plate left untouched
Even when the belly's empty
Got a belly full of lust.
Phasing everyday
Like the moon trying to stay
Like emotion running wild
Trying to keep in one place.
Jealousy and rage
Serenity and grace
Throwing switches in my mind
With the message on my face.
Burning up like a comet
A starry street rocket
Like an animal in heat
With my heart in my pocket.
Mister, could you spare a dime?
A nickel or a dollar?
All I have is what you wouldn't want
And I would holler.
Chase it down
Or give it up
Roll the dice
And try your luck
But if you do
Remember this:
There's no such thing
As an innocent kiss.
Overstuffed imagination
In perpetual motion
Spewing red dust sangria
'Cause my heart is on the ocean.
Out to see without an anchor
Professor or the skipper
Just me and Mary Anne
Trying to fit the glass slipper.
But lurking in the corner
Staring back in the mirror
Is the boogey man
Waiting there with everything I fear.
Pick me up while I'm down
Just to put me down again
Just a glimmer of a glimpse
Of what it feels like to win.
A simple proposition
A single night of passion
Tell me I'm not crazy
Talk me down, give me ration.
Intuition is a home
Dusty with neglect
No longer is it clear for me
Whatever is correct.
Chasing out an apparition
Shake my head, clear my vision
Bring it all back down to Earth
With a clear cut decision.
Take a breather, get some rest
If it isn't do or die
A fantasy will do if reality is shy
A fantasy will do if reality is shy
A fantasy will do if reality is shy.
Chase it down
Or give it up
Roll the dice
And try your luck
But if you do
Remember this:
There's no such thing
As an innocent kiss.
Chase it down
Or give it up
Roll the dice
And try your luck
But if you do
Remember this:
There's no such thing
As an innocent kiss.
