Wicked Weather

lyrics

WICKED WEATHER

Remember that story read ‘neath wicked weather,
Where the hero was slighted and maiden tethered,
And the legions of evil had banded together
to sink the briars back into the petals?

And how a breeze was leased from the western wind,
To whisp the lovers to life again.

And they rose refreshed bathed in righteous anger,
And slaughtered themselves far away from danger.
With dual tools of fresh vengeance
Braved the chaos of the streets ‘til they found themselves back in their lovers nest.

You best take good care ‘neath wicked weather,
Lest your mascara melt to black umbrellas.
Pull that blanket up tight, restraining your shoulders,
Why contemplate the fate that your blood runs colder than mine?

Now slovenly breathe beneath the sheet,
Bellow a final inferno for me.

You can tie me up, use and abuse me,
As long as you clean up your mess
on your knees leashed like a beast.
A beast, my little travesty.

Bit into the pit of a ripped blackcherry,
Filthy floors and a broken bed at the Chelsea.
We have the alchemy of a dirty movie,
I’ll buy the film if you’ll just do your duty in that corset.

I hope you’re warm in Buenos Aires,
My fingertips shiver stumble all over the ivories,
If you should fall ‘neath wicked weather,
Take comfort in the fate that you’ll be tethered again.
