lyrics

My lies are as transparent as
a white T-shirt in the rain
and I blush with the revealing
all my intentions made plain
and I could run for cover
or I could stand my ground
or take just three steps forward
and have a look around

If I ran my fingers
down the length of your spine
would you shudder, quiver, then
go all still and kind?
Would you lay there open
for me to read just like a book?
Or would you exhale slowly
and sink me with a hook

The train roles by my window
I smile at the sound
of all that heavy cargo
being pulled from town to town
are we transient in nature
or are we of firmer stuff?
or what?

How can I stop this spinning?
Is it only the red wine?
Or am I simply feeling
some cosmic-scaled design?
