an evening of fun in the metropolis of your dream

don’t take the stairs just fly through her open window break your reticence on the wheel of panic the wheel of time rolling and the iron cooling sweep her off her feet get down on your knee declare undying love in aramaic offer her that silver hoop that sapphire loop make her laugh get her drunk shower her in roses crown her with thorns nail her to a cross roll away the stone then pull her to your breast take her by the hand walk through the streets run through the streets dance through the streets in the soft evening rain the music of angels crying kiss her like tomorrow will never come because tomorrow never comes in the city in this city on this night as you surrender up your life to her your past to her your future to her your ever present now to her for a sliver of love for a handful of joy for an evening of fun in the metropolis of your dream
