An Apparition - Queens Club

Hoops, hoops, always jumping through hoops

And tripping on the hedges

Tiptoe through fire, too sure to look behind

I ain’t using using checks and balances

Youth had freed me

To run with the wolves and feast on the night

The hungry night, the hungry night

Maybe I just wanna be your man

How am I to put you down

If I’ll just pick you up again?

Maybe I fear I can’t taste your love now that I’ve decided

That I can’t only be your friend

Move, make a move that you might be tempted again to feel

Anything that’s wrong is right

When day has fled to night I’ve been there

Dan, there’s nothing wrong

With a taste of a kiss that missed on love

And so it fainted

To be dismissed would be so sad

So I check you up and down

I’ve got a greater proposition

There’s a simple way to fit the mold

You’ll look a man on his mission

First, you’ll spread yourself thin

Next, you can paint your face a pale white

Then, you’ll let yourself through that door

And alas, you’ll surely claim your prize

I’ll bring you up to have a sweeter tooth and a deeper root

Until you’re face to face with an apparition

The ghost that breathes lies is a greater danger, a perfect stranger

At last you’ve turned the light on

At last you’ve turned the light on

Maybe I just wanna be your man

How am I to put you down

If I’ll just pick you up again?

Maybe I fear I can’t taste your love now that I’ve decided

That I can’t only be your friend

Oh, be mine
