Pattern

Come down tapping on the glass

as I lock the passenger door

Somehow it got in the back

now I can’t relax anymore

Last night got a hold of me,

I can’t wrestle free from my head

Sunlight banging on the wall

begging me for more promises

And I slip and I slide

like a spider on an icicle

Frozen in time

It’s a trick of the light,

I got a girl around the corner still

trying to change my mind.

And never in my wildest dreams has it occurred to me to try to go to sleep.

Wonder whether I’ll grow curious

when old Dr. Dusk comes to call for me.

Midnight I’m like her specialty,

she’ll outmuscle me, certainly

in the end

Midnight has got the hots for me

and I’m about to be

born again

Love hearts heavy in her hands,

Oh no not again!

New regrets

Rough start but we all know that dance

Do those old boots remember the steps?

And I slip and I slide

like a spider on an icicle

Frozen in time

It’s a trick of the light,

I got a girl around the corner still

trying to change my mind

And never in my wildest dreams has it occurred to me to try to go to sleep.

Wonder whether I’ll grow curious

when old Dr. Dusk comes to call for me.

Midnight I’m like her specialty,

she’ll outmuscle me, certainly

in the end.

Midnight has got the hots for me

and I’m about to be

born again.
