Just backing up stuff, at your expense

[blackseraph]

The Magpie In Me
Engender me with a flame that the fire dragon wears
Kiss the babies, kiss the snake who kisses every heart of gold
I am sold, I am blue
I am the tears that well in you
Cover up, find a nice spot in the shade

I need a metaphor
To keep myself together
I still need a simile
To make it all seem real
I need your persuasion
Before I start believing
The magpie in me
The magpie in me

Medusa paralyse me with your eyes that turn to stone
Every young mind with a blank heart that is ex-prolificate
I am scared, I am true
I am the things you want to do
Pretty ones only want you for their eyes

(Chorus)

Help me please 'cause I don't know of anybody here
Party pieces but no birthday cake and nothing to regret
I shut down, here with you
I am the lie you think is true
Going somewhere I will never quite attain

(Chorus)

If you disappear in white clouds darling, I will understand
In the bathroom with your credit card, another pretty friend
I am sad, I will try
Resucitate the part that died
Acquaintances, wishing they were something more
