Don't Play With Matches By: Noah Eaton 11/9/02 Origin is nothing new to you That's just where you've been coming through Here all we need is discretion Something that hasn't yet been mentioned A charlatan is all I appear to be Cumbersome so it's hard to carry me I pulled a charley horse getting here Need your grace to retain balance and clear my fears I've moved my feet from march to chasse Since the lust always gives me migraine I'm condemned in my own court Burning an original sin without resort Don't play with matches, my love Let's make one flame for every day, break free of lust Don't waste all the fuel tonight Let's burn them one at a time My heart is burning Yet cold sweat is beading this face My heart is reeling To hold you in heavenly grace Coming down... Love shouldn't have any impediments My feelings for you are extravagant Shamelessly they become holocaustic A divinity monochromatic Nurturing your kisses 9 to 5 Reminding me how I've become so alive When you perform your neurotomy Send my demons an amnesty They say only the pots know the boiling points of their broths So stir in those salts and ramones and bouillons For this eternal flame I see in your eyes Needs to be fed and exercised Don't play with matches One match, one day, one advantage For our destiny to forever burn bright Let's just burn them one at a time My heart is burning Yet cold sweat is beading this face My heart is reeling To hold you in heavenly grace Coming down... Good heavens, how lovely you are God must have glass burned your smile With the fire of the stars Good heavens, how lovely you are God must have glass burned your smile With the fire of the stars I light a match against your lips, sweet love Tonight... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (11-09-2002 07:11 PM).] |

"I've moved my feet from march to chasse Since the lust always gives me migraine I'm condemned in my own court Burning an original sin without resort Don't play with matches, my love" So that's where migraines come from! I shall either: 1) never lust again or 2) continue having migraines |

Hey, Noah !!!! This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!!!! It really does sound like a song. Is it? I know you've been practicing your guitar. Did you write this song, too? It is pretty. (Sorry I didn't see it last night. My computer wasn't doing right, so my friend said to bring it to her house and she worked on it. It's still not doing just right. It's wanting to stay in safe mode, for some reason.) "Love makes the world go around" |

Noah, is this the one you were talking about? I really like it. I had already read it earlier, but I read it again. It's really good. "Love makes the world go around" |
