Something Wicked - North by North

Where do we go?

Wasn’t there a someplace near the road.

The sky starts to crack, the heavens unfold.

We tremble unsure, but now soaked to the bone.

Drink from this wine, drop your guard, now you’ll be fine.

Dry off your clothes, ignore all the signs.

We’ve waited so long in the back of your minds…

Flickered into life

an insidious glow in the veil of the night

With open arms, drew them like a moth unto a fire

Thunder shakes the room, rain pounding down a torrential monsoon

Enter my dear, find your solace in the spider’s lair.

And now, within the false sense of safety-inclined,

they take the chance to consummate despite their own chagrin

Take it from me baby, we’re just startin'

Two pairs of bright eyes staring out between flickered lights

Took a look down stairs it might be better baby if we stay the night

The switchblade is glinting red, it says it’s over now… and it’s right

Been waiting for so long in your mind…

Now the final blow, forever destroying the saccharine beau,

He’ll survive, nothing like the man that she proposed

The girl she cries alone

The branding of fire reborn and reposed, no holding back

nothing like the lady she had known

And so, now bid farewell to the honey-eyed babes

born again by fire and the leather gods alone,

Glowing like the cigarette they share home.

Two pairs of bright eyes staring out between flickered lights

Took a look down stairs it might be better baby if we stay the night

The switchblade is glinting red, it says it’s over now… and it’s right

Been waiting for so long in your mind…
