kentucky gentleman
comprehensively there isn't much that i can do
but listen to my own heart beat
i wouldn't say i'm feeling strongly either way
if you want i could come over to your place later
i was thinking maybe later today
if you're looking for somebody to talk to
well i'm here but I might not stay all day
i was sort of waiting for you to get lost
like a blind man trying to lead astray the sighted
hoping blindly that my victim would fall into a ditch
chasing me to help me some way
if you're thinking that i owe you some favor
don't stop listening to me that way
i know there is something good we must glean
from time's preventing us from before
but now i've got you into some strange fate
when crystal's like the sheen of this door
glass or perhaps imaginary
boundaries between us
