Word Thingys: Salome Strangelove
Your name is spilled across my skin in the ink of love and tears
There’s a certain kind of poetry to that
It hides the marks, it hides the scars, until my flaws all disappear
I ‘ppreciate it, though, I’m not that much to look at
So draw your kisses deep upon my face
In runes and hieroglyphs that cannot be erased
I know it’s easy to feel skeptical
But I promise we’re indelible
Oh I don’t write love songs
Except when I do
And when I do they all end up in some way about you
Yeah, I don’t seek much company
Except when I do
And when I do it’s just to pass the time till I can be with you
So darlin’ lay your mind at ease
We interlace right at the vertices
One body shines, another one revolves
Each in turn ‘til time itself dissolves
You’re the reason I’m created
Don’t make it all so complicated
I know it’s easy to feel skeptical
But I promise we are indelible
You don’t like where I hang out, can’t stand the company I keep
That’s because you think I’m better than I am
You worry ‘bout who’s out to use me, hurt me, put my mind to sleep
Don’t you know by now I just don’t give a damn
I’m already broken, love, I’m missing half my set
But I was just this same way when we met
I know it’s easy to feel skeptical
But I promise we’re indelible
Oh I don’t write love songs
Except when I do
And, baby, when I do they all end up in some way about you
Yeah, I don’t seek much company
Except when I do
And when I do it’s just to pass the time till I can be with you
So darlin’ lay your mind at ease
We interlace right at the vertices
One body shines, another one revolves
Each in turn ‘til time itself dissolves
You’re the reason I’m created
Don’t make it all so complicated
I know it’s easy to feel skeptical
But I promise we are indelible
