Rabble of butterflies, fluttering on.
Bluish beauty,
come to me.
Touch me,
Missed!
Missed,
my kiss.
Play with me,
sing my soft purr,
Roll with blissful wind's gentle euouae.

Lazy Sunday, wilting roses
from a dream the night before.
Steeple-chasing shadows craving
at my broken engine door.
Hymns and dirges slash my venom
as the 45s go round.
Ashes buried for a lifetime
making up for trodden ground.
Cajun scorching blisters
packing all my wretchedness
Flaming cigarette on winds
I never can redress.
Senseless treason begging mercy
for a coward's lost remorse.
Untamed fortitude beneath
a bygone life upon your shores.
I wanna kiss you
over rainbows, inside castles
you're my remedy.
I wanna love you
be my cocktail, play my records
you're my remedy.
Silent fortune's malady
caressing all my fears,
fallen ages risen
from a tomb of insincere.
Seeds of anxious waiting
by the rosebed garden gate,
retrofitted for my heartless
reason and debate.
I wanna kiss you
over rainbows, inside castles
you're my remedy.
I wanna love you
be my cocktail, play my records
you're my remedy.
You wanted to kiss me
I saw it in your eyes
Both times that it almost happened
You shoved it all back inside
I wanted you to kiss me
I wanted that so bad
We were so close
But still so far off
And all I can hear
Is your voice in my ears
Telling me:
"You can tell everything by the way you get kissed"
I had so much to say that night
So much more I couldn't
But when our lips brushed against each others
It was o so apparent
We both knew we shouldn't
I'm leaving this alone
I'm going to walk away
But goddamn in my heart
I really just want to stay
Stay all night
Inside the warmth of your arms
I want to fall asleep with you
And wake up unarmed
I don't feel I have to hide from you
I've never felt I have
I can just be myself
No smoke
No mirrors
You won't love me any less
But no
You don't love me
I shouldn't say that
I know that you don't
But I do know
You wanted to kiss me
As badly as I wanted to kiss you
You're over there staring at
the sun within your eyes
Curiosity knows no bounds
with out ever a compromise
dignified with beauty as
you turn around and walk away
speaking with the wisdom
that comes from a certain love
I want to know you better
i'm going to learn from our past
I want to kiss your reflection
going to make you my addiction
A smile thats hiding what
you truly feel in your heart
words have a meaning
only different from what you suggest
I want to know you better
i'm going to learn from our past
I want to kiss your reflection
going to make you my addiction
