It was not what it seemed
Not a tough guy shoot the shit Jack Nicholson dream
Or a hazy cocktail scene
The character wasn't real
Had that 80's handsome Kevin Bacon type feel
Tall with sun-glassed eyes
A pretty hollow disguise
But I succumbed to the allure
And all our visits went by in a blur
Until it felt off-key
And then I covered it in sand
Only fly the flags of things that I understand
And this one was a stretch
Embellishment on a sketch
Storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
This is all that I know
Magazine progeny, daughter of radio
Collector of keys
Sometimes my lip curls
For a Harrison Ford circa Working Girl
For a non-existent world
Because I waited so long it's gonna be that much better
It's gonna be so much better this time around
Because I waited so long it's gonna be that much better
Storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
