Pulling me
out of my reverie,
she walks up to me,
gorgeous creature,
picking a stranger out on the tube line
Eyeing me wild,
intensely bold
Hands on hips,
jaunty lips,
a threat to my peace of mind
She tells me to stare,
she tells me to care She sends electric signals in the air
From a defiant source to a candid destination
The heedless light carries sensitive information
Wish I could figure out
the rules of her game
Is this some kind of romantic hold-up or sentimental hit-and-run?
Hijack my feelings,
expose this part of mine Mirror yourself in me and rape my mind
The drama's over now,
you're getting off at the next station
The door is open,
you turn your back and leave the rest to my imagination
As I watch you walking away,
the day follows its steady course
Life goes on as before,
but not quite,
and I pretend to just ignore the cast
That tease with one glimpse of what could have been
Lingers to haunt me till the day I die
