Almost Gothic

I'm working on gospel time these days

(The summer - this could be the cool part of the summer)

The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe

A wise child walks right out of here

I'm so excited I can barely cope

I'm sizzling like an isotope

I'm on fire so cut me some slack



CHORUS:

First she's way gone then she comes back

She's all business then she's ready to play

She's almost gothic in a natural way



This house of desire is built foursquare

(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)

When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard

I'm hanging on her every word

As if I'm not already blazed enough

She hits me with the cryptic stuff

That's her style - to jerk me around



CHORUS:

First she's all feel then she cools down

She's pure science with a splash of black cat

She's almost gothic and I like it like that



This dark place so thrilling and new

It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view

Unless I'm totally wrong

I hear her rap and brother it's strong



I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies

But I just stand there hypnotized

I'll just have to make it work somehow

I'm in the amen corner now

It's called love - I spell L -U- V



CHORUS:

First she's all buzz then she's noise-free

She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say

She's almost gothic in a natural way



She's old school then she's like young

Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat

She's almost gothic but it's better than that
