lyrics

I'll be simpatico — you be the radical
myself and my shadow been ripped, torn and rattled
by my only worst enemy, eyes closed in front of me
put your lips together and sing like a canary
she wants the water, so you bring the ocean
she likes the static, so you be the motion
she wants the imagery, you paint the picture
she wants stability, you be the fixture

slowly awaken to azure noon
concrete waltz to singing spoons
a kiss for reminder, a cigarette for two
a night-colored velvet, a looking-glass blue

she looks you up when you look her down
every lyrical curve invites the sound
me, myself, I got music for everything
something original, something amazing

my little sliver
my ice-warming blue
cry me a liver so I can drink, too
all the cash in Manhattan will not buy you a heart
…but it might get you started

say that you feel it — the tension in you has begun to fade
just relax, let the beat whisk you away
gentle persuasion, soft as a whisper
you take a breath and sip the elixir
oh, that perfume! everyone else in the room fades away

slowly awaken…
