Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Some things are too hot to touch;
The human mind can only stand so much
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Dark Beauty;
Meet me at the border late tonight
There's always some new stranger sneakin' glances,;
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.;
I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Junk is piling up, taking up space
if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it
People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,;
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?;
I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!";
I say, "I would if I could, but, ;
I don't do sketches from memory."
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,;
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.
