lyrics

Red rose ribbons paint
Blood red portraits
With rose red incisions on your
Red dress decisions
Keeping karma undressed with
Geranium derision
Your red dress is blessed with
Movements in unison that
Keep you confessed to
What I like best
Your whisper jest
Reminds me of cheap tricks that
Keep you a mess
You can’t best the itch
You let it infest and
Give you a kiss a
Potent little fix
Until the time ticks six and
Still you’re obsessed for
Only a caress and
You play like a fool
Sopping drool
Dribbling little pool with
Waves of duress

Matter of fact
You still love the act you
Play it at face to
Keep up the pace so
Your heart starts a race and
Trips up a space to
Make it unsafe to
Trickle down a fact you
Keep just in case the
Ribbons in you hair quit
Playing it fare and
You’re at odds with the stack
I can’t seem to bare the
Tension in the air then
You’re patients will crack taking
What you gave back
In a sliver of ease you’ll
Appease for a squeeze
Get’em at the knees drink your
Dripping disease
You wriggle in the middle
Beg for please then your
Middle starts to jiggle and your
Wrapped up in sleaze
