Dr Jekyll Ms Hyde
pile on the make up, no let's tone it down
let's stay here at home, come on paint the town
let's try to be good, I forgot guess I’m bad
let's say we’re sorry, I want to stay mad
better take it easy, let's speed it up
we should go slowly, let's not be abrupt
let's live together, I’ll break us apart
we love each other, let's say I’ve no heart
she played cool and smooth so easily gelled
we took form where every desire dwelled
the clock ticked as the midnight hour turned
thoughts abound my lover’s head that churned
soon a cold hard prejudice poured down
borrowed impudence from a battered clown
three candles lit on the dresser shinning bright
dancing and swaying on two lovers in the night
in creeps the Tormentor down low and out of sight
with a dank hand full of sorrow douses candle light
