Cheshire Smile

Truth falls
By the wayside
You headcase
You gold mine
I’ve always been short of time
But I’ll share it entirely
With you
Truly
Computed
Or unruly
With a talent to run with mystique
A Panama hat and her amber leaf

Gives it all away
So I must say

I never wanted anybody else but you
I never wanted anybody else but you
How many more times will my words fall through
I never wanted anybody else but you

A saviour walking
A rabbit’s foot to keep me talking
Dressed head to toe up in porcelain
I can barely mask the excitement
Take five
Don’t drive
Me mad
Or me wild
I know you’re trouble on the bathroom tiles
A two toned lover with a Cheshire smile
Gives it all away
So I must say

I never wanted anybody else but you
I never wanted anybody else but you
How many more times will my words fall through
I never wanted anybody else but you

Now you’re pulling me out from the grey
With rope burns on display
Cooled by the rain
Makes it go
Makes it go
Makes it go
Makes it go away

I never wanted anybody else but you
I never wanted anybody else but you
How many more times will my words fall through
I never wanted anybody else but you

God it’s true

This is a taste of what’s coming for us my dear
Now it’s handshakes and further from love I fear
Hold on to the sphere
Now that it turns on its own
As you drop your cheek to your collarbone
Always a martyr
And never the one to call
This fork in the road
Is more pleasurable than I was told
