I sweep the cobwebs away
Rise from the slumber room
Kicking around come what may
Sell me a trick or two
I know that it’s been rough,
It shows in your reflection,
You’ve fallen out of touch,
Got lost along the way,
I know it’s not enough,
But these things they all get better,
And even if its tough,
Babe, you got it wrong
This isn’t me at all
You’re hitting on the wrong man
Ain’t that just so?
Pale are the snowflakes that fall for us
There’s one tiny shoe outside in the corridor
Pale are the peonies you grew my love
The colour of your skin
Pale and paper thin
Praise the lord, I was born to drive boat
Feeling like Slash in front of the chapel
I’m leaned back with the Les Paul
Shit I smoke is like cholesterol
Spilled dressin’ on the vest at the festival
The best of all, had a midget Puerto Rican at my beck and call
Pool side convo about your summer last night, oh yeah
About your summer last night
Ain’t give you no play, mm
Could I make it shine last night?
Could I make it shine, on it last night?
Could we make it in? Do we have time?
I remember when I first noticed that you liked me back
We were sitting down in a restaurant waiting for the check
We had made love earlier that day with no strings attached
But I could tell that something had changed how you looked at me then
I can see that you’re giving up
It should not mean that much to me
And I don’t know where the rest go
But everybody’s been telling me no
Life rocked me like Mötley
Grabbed me by the ribbons in my hair
Life rocked me ultra-softly
Like the heavy metal that you wear
I’m in love with it
Intoxicated
I’m in rapture
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
