| You let me slide, baby,
|
| on a sheet of thin ice.
|
| Askin’no questions
|
| and receiving no lies.
|
| You speak to me in parables,
|
| you manufacture truth —
|
| my time is your’s,
|
| just wake me up when you’re through.
|
| You tell me what I do.
|
| You tell me what I think.
|
| But you don’t know a thing about me.
|
| You read me the future
|
| from the palm of my hand.
|
| You plunge new depths
|
| to remain in my plans.
|
| You draw your conclusions
|
| from imaginary scenes
|
| and piss your confusion
|
| into the stream.
|
| You’re hurlin’it hard,
|
| what you believe to be true.
|
| But you don’t know a thing about me.
|
| Last, lovely, night
|
| my skin was bare,
|
| the cool wind satisfied.
|
| I stood at the edge,
|
| loosened a wing
|
| and braced for flight.
|
| Long live the night!
|
| Next of kin
|
| had not been notified —
|
| I soared like a bird.
|
| The light of the moon’s
|
| the light of my life.
|
| I’ll tell you anything
|
| that you’d like to hear
|
| But you don’t know a thing about me. |
