Take Me to the Skyline

Oh bad moon daughter
skip me like a stone on holy water
I am renewed again inside your braying storm

Oh good Colorado son
he is old but inside still so young
I am subdued by a smile breezy and warm

And if there’s a constant in the cosmos
it’s that two close bodies tend to attract
let’s cuddle up and we’ll drink a toast
and watch how volatile chemicals react
and is there really such thing as destiny
well all I know is I never knew a thing
until you

Take me to the skyline
get me there on time
I'll not sleep another night
filled with a fitful longing fright
until you're by my side

Oh so sweet and delicious
the way you get to me is vicious
you are the devil in soft white velveteen

Oh so bitter to my tongue
every bell inside me has been rung
you are an angel in black leather and jeans

Take me to the skyline
get me there on time
I'll not spend another day
waiting on the world that’s in my way
until you're by my side

And if love in its newness feels like this
I think on the ecstasy when we're old
may every bumpy road lead to bliss
me I'll be shaped by this hand I hold
and is there really such thing as meant to be
all I know is I never believe in anything
except you

Take me to the skyline
get me there on time
take me to the skyline
heed no speed limit sign
I gotta a date and she's so very fine
I won't be late so on and on I ride
until I reach the skyline
where I will be at your side
