somewhere in the back of my mentholated mind
where cool breezes tack on the sails checkout line
a course that emerges from the sidebar you find
which breaks away from surges of the choppy bump and grind
and there's a place in this effortless dance I do
to the music of the foretaste of a chance with you
where I consider who you are (and how I think you're hot!)
but my left brain goes bereft and sane debates with not
now it doesn't do much good to analyze the soul
it's a sandwich bite where appetites wage for control
so I raise my swivel neck and parallax for depth
I try to telescope the spec on how to stay in step
because there's something that I crave each time I think of you
like Austin Powers, "oh behave!" it's all I ever do
and it doesn't get much further than the point of entry
because responsibility is such a thorough sentry
saying, "Halt! Who goes there?" and "What's your business here?"
and I answer, "only me" plus let this lovely one come near
she's with me and as you see she's why they broke the mold
but only half the story is still yet to be untold
so introductions all around, me, this is you, and you, here's me
and here's the one who's on the run, here's the one you never see
because the dreams that I suckle cannot ever rescue me
from the searching of my soul before house arresting me
and so I keep this little secret for my fertile come back case
the one I'm planning with a partner in some dreamy future place
who, though she likely won't be you because of this dissension:
the motivation of your angle seems to be contention
and a tendency to fly off the handle bar the grip
so if that's the way she be I say, "good riddance. let her rip!"
because I can't become the reason for her nightly shifting blaming
I'd rather ride the seasons, leave behind the drifty gaming,
I've got better things to do then play this drama out with you
anyhow I wouldn't wish my sorry ass on someone who
Is as utterly engaging and astute as well
so entrancingly upstaging, words could never tell
how unsufferably enraptured I've become with this
now, how is it you captured me with just a kiss?
but then you let me go upon this prayer upon a wing
thinking he may "come around" (is this a "Y" chromasome thing?)
