she woke up way too early
the whole world still is sleeping
deep in the whirlwind
a boy and a girl win
a chance at inevitable weeping

she played the piano
and he smoked a cigarette
it burned at the tip
he yearned for her lips
he's never been a man of regret

he always did what he wanted
she always did what she's told
they met in a daydream
they bet on the home team
like a tornado their story unfolds

he said,"where are you from?"
she said,"the same place as you."
they laugh and they play fight
'til "sleep tight", said this May night
she hadn't the slightest clue

alcohol is quite an aphrodisiac
she fell in love with all that she heard
now cold and despondent
this morning the calmest
and last night was nothing but words

i met a martyr once who told me
that gingers aren't born
they're spawned from something unholy
*oh but of course
so when these hands collapse your throat
i will sleep with no remorse

and so the sun set
once again on our story
i will patiently wait 'till morning
to hear your final allegory

grasp a balloon by its pendulous string
ride it to the moon, O glorious thing
marooned across that giant rock
draw your own map so you don't get
lost
take a nap
take a coat
it gets cold
when it turns its back on us

there's certain stars
never seen from this angle
who have never seen such an angel
and when your host turns a crescent
cast a line back down
i'll take the bait
so i too can drown

under the dress
they daintily caress
lips pressed to chest
my fingers slide
where pleasures hide
and feel your eye
that only sees
your inner thighs
they poke and pry
their way inside
the unknown
you rollover and moan
your backbone bows
fingers and toes
themselves almost broke
you've found your throne
now it's time to take you home

when work calls
and the day's long
it's just me
but when dark falls
it becomes us all
and nothing can keep us down

ten hundred horses can't hold us back
the bayou's worst nightmare couldn't
stop us from throwing a lasso
around the stars
and making this nights ours
