Edge of Ecstasy


I can die, for I've seen heaven
 
I've even said her name. 
 
From one to ten, she's an eleven
 
She's sweet, and she won't be tamed
 
 
Fortune favors the bold
 
This girl sure knows how to be
 
She's a lion, she's a wolf
 
She knows just what to say to me
 
 
I fire a shot, she comes right back
 
Her wit is a two edged sword
 
I'm on the defense, she's on the attack
 
I parry with just the right word
 
 
Then she's in front of me
 
Her eyes like glittering stars
 
The cheeks a blush of rose
 
Her skin... It's free of scars.
 
 
A nutcase, unafraid to shut me up
 
I'd have it no other way
 
She reminds me that I'm not
 
Who I was yesterday
 
 
Her body is a cursive poem
 
Her curves, they're written in script
 
I speak half a hundred tongues
 
But I am vanquished by her lips
 
 
When she walks, the way she sways
 
Has kept me up for several days
 
I lay for hours memorizing
 
Her rhythm and its hypnotizing
 
 
Come out with me at night and I will steal you all of the stars
 
There's nothing I won't do for the wild girl without scars
 
When I think 'this can't get better', she opens my heart, I see
 
That when her lips meet mine, it's just the edge of ecstasy
