Spinning in circles
Dizzy down a drain thickened with heavy liquor words
And mascara plundered eyes-
The envy of all those who encounter her-
Let's turn you green for a spin
See how it suits you during this beautiful season of spring.
So scared of heartbreak, of making mistakes so I keep
RunningRunningRunning.
Why must the temptation
Sweet and treble clef-fed music
Run quicksilver through my mind
Down my spine
Cause those unshakable trembles
That I would never ever trade for
The world-
If it only meant a touch, a smile,
A look from you and those glass eyes.
