the city we tripped

Those days you were wearing

That velvet dress

You're the priestess

I must confess

Those little red panties

They pass the test

Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress

One And you hold me

and we're broken

Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now

Feel myself heading

off the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming

run for my life

locked down in a smile

But nothing is all
