Word Thingys: Salome Strangelove
Never should have pulled that string
Let you vandalize my whims
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
I’m but a vesper to your hymns
Never should have heard you sing
Let you neutralize my wiles
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
I’m but a giggle to your smiles
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
Have some mercy on a girl
Open up that oyster shell
Stop hoarding all those peals
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
Come out and play let’s spar
You parry, dodge, you disengage
The feint, the foil that you are
Never should have taken wing
Let you dominate the skies
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
I’m but a veil to your disguise
Never should have played that king
Let you scrutinize my cards
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
I’m but a moonbeam to your stars
Bauble bauble don’t you see
The risk I represent is tiny
Bauble bauble it’s not my fault
You’re the one that’s so damn shiny
Bauble bauble, shiny thing
Have some mercy on a girl
Open up that oyster shell
Stop hoarding all those peals
