licking my lips in the static white room.
in drugged-out love, we killed the whiskey.
and i knew that i would lose my backbone,
embracing the waves like a ship beneath the sea.
and oversexed and medicated,
i was waiting and you were busy finding courage
to attach yourself, commit yourself, connect yourself with me.
and as we sat and you licked your lips,
caressing up and down your sunned legs.
and you smiled with your hands exploring;
i was only happy to oblige when you wanted me to stroke your neck,
and brush your skin and taste your comforter.
and you giggled when you felt my hands had grazed your hips.
oh lady... you forgot your skirt...
and you smiled and you laughed and you laughed and you smiled and you laughed...
and i remember everything, like how you came in spurts, and how we got so rowdy.
how it must have hurt... kind of fun the way it hurts so good.
we turned around and we had wrecked the fucking room.
and under waves and medicated,
did you cross the line from pain to pleasure?
and as we said our last goodbyes,
and as a drowning tangled mass of life,
we approached and came to taste each other.
and you were just an expert with your tongue.
i was weary spent and pressed beside you,
digging through your shirt while you wore no skirt.
you lie and you cry and you lie and you cry and you lie.
and everything that you did was everything you tried.
and all the seas we mourned for, were all the days you cried...
kind of sad the way it all turned out,
my beautiful sad little blackeyed sex toy.
kind of sad the way it all turned out.
we turned around and our friends had all died.
