FSeconds from paGjamas I musCt first open all the Fdoors
and the windows
and invite the Gvampire in to be Cone of us.
FThen, in the Gguise of cool air, Cin the softer Fhours,
he's there, sitting, talking
in the Gvoice of your mother
Cabout leaving one good Fparty for another
and the night of a Gthousand missteps
Cand the loss that Fmade him dogged
or it could have been the Gdoggedness
that Ccaused the loss in the Ffirst place, I guess.
I'm discovering Guses for you I thought I'd never Amfind. C
FI could've made Gchancellor without you on my Ammind. C

Crazy daisies and wooden stars,
the threat of oxygen on Mars,
marching armies in the night
smiling strangers riding by on bikes.
Children smoking, sloganeers on mics,
just a few things most vampires don't like.
I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
Before the dawning's first light
I must first close up all the doors and the windows
and try to trap that cool air to be one with us.
I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
