are you gonna glow in the dark? are you gonna show me how?

[trick]

both sides now

i played you
full blast through the walls
desire that has little to do
with physical moods,
but has scant other form.
so words can't come
and phrases escape
in the breath of a moment
in the sounds that you make.
there was rain on the windows
and water in my throat
so dry it hurt to breathe
and the end is something
that should fall like thunder
echoing the lightning in my spine.
switch.
and you will follow, i will lead,
to the caves i know
where darkness is the light
and adventure whispers
with wide open eyes.
my turn now,
the leaves are turning
and i can show you a world
of fire escapes and ferris wheels
freak shows and super heroes,
where we can change the world,
and still be sitting still
