Devil'S eyes
Looking through past eyes
Wondered why I walk hand in hand with glass
innocent love
Your mouth was full of honey-words dripped into my
tropical-heart to make me believe you were real
Your devil’s eyes stared at my bosom like a
demon waiting to conquer my innocent body
The first time when our lips met, your tongue
tangoed with my teeth like a green fungus
We went to my secret place
Your gentle devil’s voice came through my
mind’s mist
You asked me if we could be one
Oh, what a fool was I
Your body was warm like an artificial
love song
We were never one
Your mind was a spy
Sneaking into every crack of my
love-spoiled mind
You chose your words oh, so smooth
Played just the right cards before me
Someday, somewhere it will be your last smooth card
Your tears will flow like rain through your finger
Your crystal-glass thoughts will run to me
My rock n roll words will dance on your face and cut your heart
My sun-words will burn you
Till death do us part.
