Mistress

Will you take me as your mistress?

Long and dark hair

Will you cut it off when it is useless?

All of my hair

I have never seen the bottom?

The bottom of the well.

Could you ever love a mistress?

It never feels the same.

All the wandering

Live wires and fires

Nights

All your sympathy

I’d like to feel this way again.

Will you take me as your mistress?

Sure and short of breath.

Could you carry on your business?

Do you already know

The way to my door?

Cause you made your way inside

A dozen times before

The trick is to never look into their eyes

All the times, all the loaded times

And it’s belly up, and it’s hot and cold

All the time, all the loaded times

And it fights and it lies and it sighs and it sighs and it sighs

Will you take me as your mistress?

Could you ever love a mistress?

It never feels the same
