idoru

i don't want to hold you and feel so helpless.
i don't want to smell you and loose my senses.
and smile in slow motion with eyes in love.

i twist like a corkscrew
the sweetness rising
i drink from the bottle weeping
why won't you last?
why can't you last?

so i will walk without care
beat my snare
look like a man who means business
go to all the poshest place
with the familiar faces
terminate all signs of weakness.

i will take my cofee black
never snack
hang with the wolves who are sheepish
blow through the veins of town
always frown
me and my mistress the princess

so when the day Noah's ark
floats down park
my eyes will be simply glazed over
or better yet i'll wear shades
on sunless days
and when the sun's out i'll stay in
and slumber

all for the sake of a foolish love.
