Take me for what I am... a star newly emerging
|
Long simmering explodes... inside the self is reeling
|
In the pocket of the heart, in the rushing of the blood
|
In the muscle of my sex, in the mindful mindless love
|
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
|
|
At 5 am the moon and the sun... sit set before my window
|
Light glances off the blue glass we set... right before the window
|
And you who accept... in your soul and your head
|
What was misunderstood... what was thought of with dread
|
A new self is born... the other self dead
|
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
|
|
A soul singer stands on the stage... the spotlight shows him sweating
|
He sinks to one knee... Seems to cry... the horn are unrelenting
|
But as the drums beats he finds himself growing hard
|
In the microphone's face he sees her face growing large
|
And the swelling crescendo no longer retards
|
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
|
|
As the twilight sunburst gleams
|
As the chromium moon it sets
|
As I lose all my regrets and set the twilight reeling
|
I accept the new found man and set the twilight reeling
|
