Sun God

1.
I’m up at 4am and where are you?
She’s so dazzling, so free, anal queen
On my big bright California screen.

Are you enjoying yourself sweetie?
I talk to her as if we’re having coffee.
I’m not wise, but I wish I could
Sow the seeds that there are in you.
So scream, devil, squeal, angel and
Wake up the lazy do-nothing clouds.

2.
Somebody left the spotlight on
And it’s right in my face.
I want to turn ahead the clock
Because in the daylight I feel safer,
Safer than you do in the arms of a
Man who can love you like that.

I’d buy you a coffee, kid, sit and
Listen as you tell me all about how
You somehow make it work
While I make a different kind of
Moan, one that comes from age,
A sort of plague that will never
Touch your perfect skin.

3.
Yes, the darkness can be pale.
The demon is so black as to blind
The unprepared eye. There is no shade,
No cover from it. I love you baby,
But you’ll burn just like I.

That’s what makes us partners in
This study of waves: here comes the
Pleasure, here comes the pain.
Surely on the moons of Jupiter
There is a purer form of exaltation.

4.
Girls, what chance do we have
When the world won’t listen
And the men won’t give up the goods?
Thank God we don’t live in that world,
Yet there is the uncertain element of chance.

Sisters, I can tell you how to get everything
You want out of it but we’ll all still be lying
On our backs lying about how it never came
To pass, that it’s all his fault baby.
Just lie there and be nice. Don’t avoid temptation,
Give in. Dive in. He’ll paint you your own rainbow
If you give it a chance.

Take that boy and get that boy out of his underwear
And make sure he never finds it again. So what, your
Knees will hurt a little bit. There’s goodies coming
Your way that will more than make up for it.

5.
And in a breath, darling, you get him as stiff as dust.
It’s your willingness to stay – your hand a glove
full of bait. You’ll send him back to where he
came from with a rebel wail. Don’t worry, I won’t
tell anyone where you found the pedal, the trick.
