Two Left Shoes


Me

You

Two left shoes

 

How I dance

How I make do

You brute

 

Never sipping

A glutton at best

Of the honey suckle

 

A time

A place

Do I disgrace?

 

The clock is tolling for me

A tick and a tok

I do declare

 

Your fangs salivate

I scream only once

Murderer

 

A clumsy foot

Drunken stupor

I fall once more

 

Into oblivion

I've memorized the screech

This song

 

A decade and seven

I've been gone

Farewell, so long

 

Dear friend

Ex-lover

I spot a brute

 

Never, never

A small size of shoe

I fill for you

 

A dancefloor of hearts

One bruised artery

End the party

 

As I try

Good God I may die

I lie

 

To you I am glitter

Hide the ugly

Taking from me

 

And beneath it all

There is two

Two left shoes
