She's The Only One

One, she's the only one
I need
I need a watery sky
I think upon a wink
of an olive green eye
one, she's the only one
under the black pretty sun

Take me through the television screen
icy scream,
echo through the channels
of my rocky road dreams
take the wheel,
I'm crying my happiness
through the windshield
there's so much to feel
tonight

Tonight the drinks are on me
all over me
as I slouch my way
down the flooded alleyway
parking meters for crow's nest
her smile I like the best
I'm breaking her love against the bow
of my soul's relation-ship
trapped in a tequila bottle
the HMS Amphetemine
know what I mean?

Hey everybody
take this body
and send it back home to her

One, she's the only one
I bleed for
I bleed for health care
I blink when I think
of her rusty red hair
one, she's the only one
to love me under the gun

With her rosebud smile,
what a scenic mile
down to the sun setting on her cheek
so lovely that I'm jealous of the sun
but to me
she's the only one

With her Corvette body,
I drive her like nobody
nobody else dared to tame her
so fast but so damn fun
to me
she's the only one

Hey everyone
she's the only one
so send me back home to her

With her olive green eyes
reflecting in watery skies
with her rusty red hair
patching me up with her care
so fast and oh so fun
to me she's the only one
one, she's the only one
