lyrics

Harshly and sparsely receive your attention
Confirmation your efforts in vain
Partially you realize that you give no attention
Got the aura of someone in vain
Wildly your ivory skin cuts through the crowd
Of the wack basement dance party I check you out
Like a book from the Library you’re going home with me
I wont be coming back to hell with the late fees

Slowly it hits you that there’s something among us
It’s your constant excuses that are getting us hung up
On the wall in the attic where there’s no one to wonder
What the artist was thinking so it get buried under
The dust from the cracks amongst the walls
And cobwebs falling down from corners
The nail starts to rust begins to fall
Before there’s anytime to warn us

Wishfully I kiss you lipstick on the tip of my tongue
Perfume stuck in my nose eyes are froze to your thighs
Brain is counting the seconds since my lips last spoke
But the frog in my throat that has me all
Choked up on the words, I whisper in your ear
I lean in closer so my cheek grazes your hair
My breath hits you neck and goosebumps confirm that
The way that you look at me’s not just a warning

You’ve got nothing to loose so what are you trying to prove
You owe nothing to me you are living in a dream
What’s that book in your hand? 100 ways of pleasing your man
That must be for a friend told me that you would never love again
