Once Upon an Acid Glance

Haven't the foggiest, faintest idea
 Half of the stillness of a soap opera actor
 I just sorta wish, sorta wish, sorta wish
 That you wished you were here
 That's not how it appears
 I've never featured in your scenes, never will
 I said your name in a prayer
 A prayer I said to the air last year
 How I would live as a prisoner
 It's all total bullshit, tiffany interiors
 Ruched red velvet security cameras
 It's the quiet times that really do me in
 Disastrous indecision
 Walking in the shadow of a drawing pin
 In a raincoat, on a Monday etcetera
 Mocking all of my hockney ephemera
 Rare plagiarisms, superimpositions of karen and cohen
 So you can close your eyes and think of him
 And I can lie back and think of Ekland
 And we needn't make a sound
 We're the talk of the town
 Just lay your hands down, on my skin
 On my skin
 Oh, oh, behind us the screaming of train
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, behind us the drowning of dream
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, behind us the tail and the spin
 And that sound in the wing
 Babe, it's a small violin
 See I've been dreaming in horrific collodion
 Grand delusions only fit for Napoleon
 ♪
 Once upon an acid glance I might have reeled you in
 When Virginia reel was the dance
 And you were shy and I smitten
 I could've reached into my pocket, rummaged for a promise
 Said something ironic in a voice like Dylan Thomas
 And you would have let him down
 But morning is broken
