| There is no dark side to me
|
| You promised me that night
|
| What you see is what you get —
|
| There will be no surprises you said
|
| And I believed you as much as I could
|
| But there were signs of the opposite
|
| From the minute that we met
|
| But part of that was what made me trust you
|
| 'Cause you would not lie and you would not steal
|
| any more imagination from inside this Ferris Wheel
|
| That is my own desire to be different someday
|
| More like you are, is getting in my way
|
| There is a dark side to me
|
| I promised you that night
|
| What you see isn’t always what you get —
|
| There will be some surprises I bet
|
| But you appeased me as much as you could
|
| 'Cause there were signs of divinity
|
| In my struggle to be free
|
| But part of that was what made you love me
|
| 'Cause I would not lie and I would not steal
|
| any more imagination from inside this Ferris Wheel
|
| That is my own desire to be different someday
|
| More like you are, is getting in my way
|
| Ribbon candy falling fast
|
| Deep inside my lover’s oven
|
| Is there hope to melt the sugar
|
| That begets the bittersweet
|
| Ribbon candy tripping over
|
| All the lies and slow surrender
|
| That is champion of defeat in matters such as these
|
| In my attempts to please you, in matters such as these |
