Heart on the Outside

She holds her heart on the outside of her skin
Makes the best of me rise out of the din
In this saloon of tired souls
Broken chains sing each other whole
She holds her heart on the outside of her skin
Sea-change eyes & bitter gin
A bite of brine & a song of sin
Her name can conjure ever last blue sky
Her voice may crack, may be slick or sly
Her hands may mold, make silent calls
Her lips can catch me when I fall
Her name can conjure ever last blue sky
Sea-change eyes & bitter gin
A bite of brine & a song of sin
I am building a tower of song
With amber tunes that rhyme her name along
The curve her hips may trace beneath
The hymn her body sings within my hungry reach
Babylon would blush to play this game
Pull aside the curtain, give this tune a name
Call it bliss or rapture
Call it what you will
Set me on my course and give me to my quill
Set me out my course, let me eat my fill
Sea-change eyes & bitter gin
A bite of brine & a song of sin

Whiskey Serenade

She bites her lip and she says "whiskey"
So I pour a shot smooth as her smile
And we talk of love and lust and leather
We put off sleep for awhile
We fall into that bottle
Fall under its spell
And grin
This conversation is like fencing
Half in jest, half a test
We are circling an emptiness
Waiting to step, waiting to rest
We fall into that rhythm
Fall under its spell
And dance
Be my north star, my confessor
Mend me with gold when I'm undone
These depths of want and aspiration
This yearning hot like August sun
Let us fall into that fire
Fall into that flame
And burn

Panacea

she sits all day in the sun
she's in love with everyone
she plays out in the rain
she's the cure for all of your pain
panacea
i see you
her smile can melt the clouds
her song can draw a crowd
catch a glance from her emerald eyes
watch her soar through azure skies
panacea
i see you
she's everyone's darling starling
when the sunset is drawing near
from her strawberry throne
she always goes home alone
panacea
i see you

i want you to come over
spread some of that death around
i want you to read me the riot act
i want you to take over
spend me all about the town
i want you to reign me in
you know just what i mean
you know just what i need
you know just what i mean
you got your crystal ball in me
i want you to possess me
sign away my soul to you
i want you to drain away these blues
i want you to undress me
parade me about the room
i want you to break me in
you know just what i mean
you know just what i need
you know just what i mean
you got your crystal ball in me
