lyrics

Now, lady, do I need this?
Does your air -perforce- need to be mine?
I’m bent on hashing this out.
Are you with?

Now, lady, do I need this?
And are you sure? You like the jokes, and I like the looks,  and on “th -ings”
We’re bound.
To agree.

The sudden integration of another into one’s life certainly belies initial reasons and reveals how desperate we are,
That in the presence of a stranger, we would give up what we know for what we hope.

!

Now, lady.
What do you think of the natural pattern of pairs?
Have I fought the filter tree to find I am wrong?

Now lady, bear me through
the keycard door!
I don’t want to walk!
And you look like you need a task.

[?????
Sing: “Mine for gold. Mine for gold.”]

You will do now.
Lady, forgive me.
You know!
(But surely, you do not!)
Pull through now, lady, and give me:
at least a seventh of what you’ve got.

Abandoning the “all” err for the sacramental daze.
Peruse the magazines and shun the photos.
The internet will tell you how to replicate their feats
and strip the Greats
of all their dignity.

What for?
Hope.
Hope??

Doorway noise is amplified and thrown across the room.
Keys strike metal floor-frame, and we all jump. Even outside.
The viscous hits the hand;
Curves, settles.
Queries what I’m doing here,

And I hope
That I’m not
Settling...

Any more than I think I am. Any more than I think I am.
Any more than I think I am, anymore.
Any more? Anymore.
Any mo - ore?
