rob me blind

jay brannan

can we clear the air between us

and can we do it soon?

i've been clawing at the mortar

your nails are dirty too

when night falls

i crawl to the window and reach for the pain

i'll fall

but i call you anyway

someday we'll be eating lobster and drinking fine champagnes

i'll sell seashells by your seashore 'til you swim through my veins

he who sails is he who discovers

let's hear anchors aweigh

there's space to claim under these covers

you steer clear of here anyway

you and me we spark

no i take that back

like a dancer in the dark

my beauty it's black

just match your lips up to mine

steal a kiss or rob me blind

you don't need another player gambling on your charms

dreaming of a victory wrapped up in your coat of arms

i bid more if you're taking score

and i'm all set to pay

but i'll lose cuz you'll choose him anyway

the greatest thing i ever learned is i don't know a thing

the hardest thing i ever earned is a chance in the ring

simple boys make better boyfriends"; that just isn't true
