Toys in Babeland
Catch an eye across the room,
fleeting spark ignites the gloom.
Sensual moves, flickered smile;
rhythmic, begins to beguile.
Mystery of face and form,
intrigues but not for you...
Bashful swift averted glance,
stolen looks give half a chance.
Come on, come on, entice across;
move now or it'll be your loss.
Oh, but you don't make the grade
so not you but someone else
A plaything of object desire,
tossed aside as your eyes betrayed
Turned shoulder;
freeze you where you stand.
Just a toy in Babeland.
Want bigger fish from better choice;
a dagger in the velvet voice.
Poison in a feline purr,
seek another for succour.
Caught in a web you've spun yourself
not you but someone else...
Why would it have been you?
A plaything of object desire,
tossed aside as your eyes betrayed
Turned shoulder;
go to hell, be damned.
Just a toy in Babeland.
Is this some game to play for fun?
Watch the sucker come undone.
Hide behind a thousand years,
or perhaps just our unfounded fears.
A plaything of object desire,
tossed aside as your eyes betrayed
Turned shoulder;
freeze you where you stand.
Just a toy in Babeland.
Anything but a graceful fall.
Laughter is spiteful after all.
Wait.
Can salve those mortal wounds.
Will you be my friend?
