Cool Like Neptune

I'm cool like Neptune
waves rolling under the blue moon
girls everywhere in the air surrounding me
no real worry, no big hurry,
'cause love can be found abound in me

I'm hot like Mercury
burning so brightly and I get weary
then cool down like Neptune, a sundown at sea
no big deal, I make it real
'cause love's safe and sound wound up in me

She's sweet like May winds
weaving through me and back again
'till the inner id of me wants to get rid of misery
and let my roots change her around
'cause a love gained is the sound of rain in me

Whenever I ever care about forever
I stop, feel my blood drop,
and she shoots lethal gazes at me
painless darts from the sweetheart who amazes me
I'm silver like the moon
she's gold like Saturn
I fall back in to my room
every time her telescopic ring burns
'round my finger
awkward emotions linger
and the songs I sing for her
are swirling in shades of blue
endless are the stars I'm flying to
oh yeah...

I'm cool like Neptune
king of the oceans that lazily croon
'Fly Me To The Moon', rolling like the tide
that brought her to my side
and love is the sound of a wounded hound in me

Chill like Neptune
yeah, I'm whistlin' my interstellar tune
'Moon River' echoing in my fractured mind
sunglasses on, not a worry in the world
'cause love can be found abound in this girl

If I was giving a blurb on this one it would go something like this

"Feels like a leisurely yet self assured stroll down a beach at sunset"

Superman isn't brave, he is invulnerable.

"She's sweet like May winds
weaving through me and back again"

Like magic soul drifter.
