An Apparition

Hoops, hoops, always jumping through hoops and tripping

On the hedges.

Tip-toe through fire, too sure to look behind i ain't

Using checks and balances.

Youth had freed me to run with the wolves and feast on

The night.

The hungry night.

Maybe i just wanna be your man.

How am i to put you down if i'll just pick you up

Again?

Maybe i fear i can't taste your love now that i've

Decided

That i can't only be your friend.

Move, make a move that you might be tempted again to

Feel

Anything thats wrong is right, when day has fled to

Night.

I've been there.

Dan, there's nothing wrong with a taste of a kiss that

Missed on love.

And so it fainted.

To be dismissed would be so sad.

So i check you up and down

I've got a greater proposition.

There's a simple way to fit the mold.

You'll look a man on his mission.

First, you'll spread yourself thin.

Next, you can paint your face a pale white.

Then, you'll let yourself through that door.

And alas, you'll surely claim your prize.

I'll bring you up to have a sweeter tooth and a deeper

Root until your face to face with an apparition.

The ghost that breathes lies is a greater danger, a

Perfect stranger.

At last you've turned the light on.

At last you've turned the light on.

Maybe i just wanna be your man.

How am i to put you down if i'll just pick you up

Again?

Maybe i fear i can't taste your love now that i've

Decided

That i can't only be your friend.
