On the Wrong Side
You got a bad ending attraction
to winsome things
Pretty possessive faces,
which crack the whip
and pull the chain
Each mourning
is a close shave beginning
Rough insomnia dreams,
so razor thin ... risk dangerous
You’ve been sleepwalking Chorus:
on the wrong side
Letting your nether thoughts awaken
So busy blind date talking
to a hurt locker guide
Now your skeleton key secrets are taken
The things you want to hold on to,
is the pain you need to let go of
The sleep you’re always losing
is on the wrong side of pillow love
Your restless rite of passage
was on the wrong side
Red was the light flashing: “X-Dangerous”
Extremely fatal touch
Sending submissive message,
your nose is open wide
Wrong pheromone signal given due to lust,
a pleasure poison rush
You’ve been sleepwalking Chorus:
on the wrong side
Letting your nether thoughts awaken
So busy blind date talking
to a hurt locker guide
Now your skeleton key secrets are taken
The things you want to keep locked up,
is the pain you need to let go of
The sleep you’re always freely losing
is on the wrong side of pillow love
