Wondering
white bones
between grinding teeth
crushed powder
discarded at your feet
fur collars and
oversized shades,
that designer label
must be custom-made
snow-cones and lollipops
make home in ruby red lips
the eyes staring languidly
at misshapen finger tips
oh, what promises will this night hold?
as i make my way across the bar
she sits in a corner, sipping a martini
i stop, wondering if i've gone too far
my mind plays tricks on me
confusing lights, red or green
the self-check system has shut down
error codes pop up on the screen
this dim lighting
this hazy atmosphere
reminds me of my journey
and how long i've waited to get here
oh, what promises will this night hold?
as i make my way across the bar
she sits in a corner, sipping a martini
i stop, wondering if i've gone too far
oh, what joys will i find
between the soft folds of her flesh?
will i ride out this wave of temptation
and find my salvation
in the arms of this seductress?
oh, what promises will this night hold?
as i make my way across the bar
she sits in a corner, sipping a martini
i stop, wondering...wondering...oh, wondering...
