Straw Into Gold
I wonder if you sleep right nowDo you realize I'm clingingTo the edge of this bed?I have nowhere to go, I have nowhere
If I leave, you'll call me quitterIf I stay, you'll punish me with silenceAnd somehow you'll fall asleepYou'll fall asleep
Well, do you know that I won't sleep?No, I won't sleep all night longAs your silhouette turns its back on my spoonI'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun's wallI'm so disenchanting, intoxicated by my own tear's soulAnd come tomorrow, when my beauty is oldLike a speckled princessI'll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I'll light a candle and begin to writeTurn to my work as refugeThough my womb is a rush hour taxi rideBut I will try to metamorphose pain along my plight
But I'll despise each word I writeSo I am clinging to the edge like some soap opera starWith her ten second fade as the light cascadesDo you love me anymore?
Well, do you know that I won't sleep?No, I won't sleep all night longAs your silhouette turns its back on my spoonI'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this Rumplestiltskin's wallI'm so disenchanting, intoxicated by my own tear's soulAnd come tomorrow, when my beauty is oldLike a speckled princessI'll try to cash in clovers for gold
I'll try to spin straw into goldStraw into gold, straw into gold, straw into goldSpinning for mercy, spinning for hopeSpinning for love, spinning for gold
