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...
