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
