Steele Away The Night
A man of steel, a heart of gold
A gentle giant, oldest of souls,
But when summer turns to autumn
The October hues of gold and amber,
I’d tumble in the fallen leaves
If I could control my anger.
It was thir13teen less than zero
I was no longer the hero,
So, I took a day trip
On Todd’s sailing ship,
No fear of God above all things,
In the flesh, I was such a mess
Some bizarre stereotype it was anybody’s guess.
While I was drunk in Paris
I realised the dream is dead,
I know that life is killing me
It’s not just in my head.
For now, I’m out of the fire
With these three things she burned me down
I’m defying the laws of nature
To be dead again above ground.
Nettie prayed for the wolf man
It was a symphony for the devil
As for the God of wine and revelry
Bacchus was out of sorts yet on the level.
I too will sip the red water
Served once upon a Christmas mourning,
Then wait for some stupid tomorrow
When everything dies without warning.
With his bloody kisses
He would love you to death,
Let you rust in the summer rain
While the breeze takes away your breath.
Hey Pete, I know it’s never enough
A druidess on All Hallows Eve
We’d celebrate Halloween in Heaven
Had I the courage to believe.
Your cinnamon girl emerging
From the dark side of the womb
With a fiery lust to hate everyone
And a promise not to lose you.
Suspended in dusk
Tangled in blood, fire and lust,
I’m ablaze so you can absorb my eternal glow,
We’re treading on bad ground
But no one needs to know.
As I watch the world coming down
Haunted, frozen; it’s much too late,
My silence misinterpreted
I couldn’t know what was at stake.
I’d kill you tonight
But I was in so much pain,
I know you’re fucking someone else
Now I don’t wanna be me,
I’m unsuccessfully coping with
The natural beauty of infidelity.
But the flutter of your heartbeat
The softness in your voice,
Always pulls me back to you
It’s like I have no choice.
Bathe in the 12 black rainbows
Commiserate with the profit of doom,
If I was a Christian woman
I’d bear the cross for you.
