Analysis of ~guilty can'T get it up?!~



~Guilty can't get it up!~

She was a vision!
The blonde was hot!
She was outta sight!

I would have not taken the shot!
I would have not gone astray…
But I still would have flirted
See how far I could have came

But there was not a smile
Not a glance her way
It was me? What could have changed?
It was the blues, man…

My twin has left town
Going in harm's way
On a sunny day in New York
Contracts signed in my back pocket
I can afford a half a day

There is no joy in skirt watchin'
Thinking about my twin
Chasin' dirt devils in a foreign land
So maybe if a church will receive me
It has been awhile believe me
I think I will go to pray….

Soundtrack: “Fire and Rain- James Taylor”
