But you are worth your weight in gold. I prayed for clay that I could mold. Love is safer I was told. Safe before the sun. Look at you can a Wiccan sing? With out her cat and broom Keep on screaming like a tempest Cuz that's all you'll ever do? While I choose to be Bachus And play my cracked sitar You could say, "We're way too spiritual, and tango hipped by far." <Cho^rus}> X2 But you were worth your weight in gold. I prayed for clay that I could mold. Love is safer I was told. Safe before the sun." /> But you are worth your weight in gold. I prayed for clay that I could mold. Love is safer I was told.

Look at you such a pretty thing Wearing one Gucci shoe Standing naked in a dazzling storm Singing, "Oh, what shall I do?" While I laugh and drink my Merlot Too drunk to strum guitar You could say, "Well it's a miracle" That we have made it quite this far <{Cho^rus}> But you are worth your weight in gold. I prayed for clay that I could mold. Love is safer I was told. Safe before the sun. Look at you can a Wiccan sing? With out her cat and broom Keep on screaming like a tempest Cuz that's all you'll ever do? While I choose to be Bachus And play my cracked sitar You could say, "We're way too spiritual, and tango hipped by far." <Cho^rus}> X2 But you were worth your weight in gold. I prayed for clay that I could mold. Love is safer I was told. Safe before the sun.

putting the words love and safe together in the same sentence can have deadly consequences. but still, i must admit to this once again striking a chord in my brain. i shall now depart, leaving this place after repaying your kind words for me by leaving my fucking five votes.

Every time, I read it I think it's about me....and I guess that's what poetry is about....but since you claim it is not...instead of a 10...here's a 9.

Perpendicular without being farcical. A beautiful compromise. -8-

leaves me wondering what changes you made...but that's not important.

Well for one thing.. you are smart enough to make that connection (moulde, mould, mold), and I rather enjoy your work. I think you to be quite brilliant and daringly dasterdly dynamic.

If you're too drunk to play guitar, it's okay to play the catatonic scale...
