a simple proposition

a simple night of passion

tell me i'm not crazy

talk me down, give me ration

intuition is a home

dusty with neglect

no longer is it clear for me

whatever is correct



a harmless fixation

Pachabel's consumption

a dinner bell clatter

two for tea for two for luncheon

unrequited love

is a plate left untouched

even when the belly's empty

got a belly full of lust



phasing everyday

like the moon trying to stay

like emotions going wild

trying to keep in one place

jealousy and rage

serenity and grace

throwing switches in my mind

with the message on my face



burning up like a comet

a starry street rocket

like an animal in heat

with my heart in my pocket

mister, could you spare a dime?

a nickel? or a dollar?

all I have is what you wouldn?t want

I would holler





CHORUS

chase it down

or give it up

roll the dice

and try your luck

but if you do

remember this:

there's no such thing

as an innocent kiss



overstuffed imagination

in perpetual motion

spewing red sauce sangria

'cause my heart is on the ocean

out to sea without an anchor

professor or the skipper

just me and Mary Anne

trying to fit the glass slipper



but lurking in the corner

staring back in the mirror

is the Boogey Man

waiting there

with everything I fear

pick me up while i?m down

just to put me down again

a glimmer of a glimpse

of what it feels like to win



CHORUS



a simple proposition

a simple night of passion

tell me i'm not crazy

talk me down, give me ration

intuition is a home

dusty with neglect

no longer is it clear for me

whatever is correct



chasing out an apparition

shake my head

clear my vision

bring it all back down to earth

with a clear cut decision

take a breather

get some rest

if it isn't do or die

a fantasy will do if reality is shy

a fantasy will do if reality is shy

a fantasy will do if reality is shy



CHORUS
