And it starts
sometime around
midnight
Or at least that's
when you lose yourself
for a minute or two
As you stand
under the bar lights
And the band plays
some song about
forgetting yourself
for a while
And the piano's this
melancholy soundtrack
to her smile
And that white dress
she's wearing
you haven't seen it
for a while
But you know
that she's watching
She's laughing
she's turning
she's holding her tonic
like a cross
The room's suddenly
spinning she walks up
and asks how you are
So you can smell
her perfume
you can see her lying
naked in your arms
And so there's a change
in your emotions
And all these memories
come rushing like
feral waves
to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
like two perfect circles
entwined
And you feel hopeless
and homeless
and lost in the haze
of the wine
Then she leaves
with someone
you don't know
But she makes sure
you saw her
she looks right at you
and bolts
As she walks out the door
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes
Oh and your friends say
"What is it?
You look like
you've seen a ghost"
Then you walk
under the streetlights
And you're too drunk
to notice that
everyone is
staring at you
You just don't care
what you look like
the world is
falling around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You know that she'll
break you in two
