Blunderbuss

[00:20.25] I had my dream
[00:21.50] I held your hand on that broad avenue
[00:24.97] We crossed the road and never spoke
[00:27.48] To another as we flew
[00:29.72] We left your man alone in drag
[00:32.28] Laughin' there at us
[00:34.45] A romantic bust, a blunder turned
[00:36.81] Explosive blunderbuss
[00:40.69]
[01:07.53] An ancient grand hotel
[01:09.32] Of Persian thread and ivory
[01:12.07] And when your man would turn his head
[01:14.50] I'd see you look at me
[01:16.79] Pools of brown and sea of red
[01:19.10] And demons in your pocket
[01:21.43] That sang romance, performed a dance
[01:23.93] Inside a silver locket
[01:26.56]
[01:35.59] A corner exit, not tall enough
[01:37.65] To walk out standin' straight
[01:40.14] Designed by men so ladies
[01:42.01] Would have to lean back in their gait
[01:44.69] You grabbed my arm and left with me
[01:47.12] But you were not allowed to
[01:49.38] You took me to a public place
[01:51.55] To quietly blend into
[01:53.73] Such a trick pretending
[01:55.52] Not to be doin' what you want to
[01:58.12] But seems like everybody does this
[02:00.79] Every waking moment
[02:04.01]
[02:21.48] I laid you down and touched you
[02:23.16] Like the two of us both needed
[02:26.04] Safe to say that others
[02:27.72] Might not approve of this, and pleaded
[02:30.35] "So selfish them," would be their cry
[02:32.71] And who'd be brave to argue?
[02:34.99] Doin' what two people need
[02:37.17] Is never on the menu
[02:48.48]
