Firewater

All top hats and class,
like the gentleman who knows 
how to throw you against a wall;
Words so cordial 
but hand him a guitar 
and everything comes unhinged;
Leaving you hallucinating
 on that beautiful scream;
He’s never less than firewater;
Pure fire water;
Stealing the sound echoing in your head,
Grabbing you 
like he’s kissing your hand;
Right before fracturing your jaw again; 
All suave with a perfect touch 
like the gentleman who knows too much,
and how to dance;
No need for any kind of buzz 
He’s already firewater;
Pure firewater;
Baby, just hand him that guitar;
He’ll take you where you want to go
He’s the matchstick, detonate delicately;
He’s never less than firewater,
Pure firewater.
