Erratic Satellite Aphrodite

» MP3: Unreleased track, 2005

she arrives like eventide
with the morning in her eyes
she is dressed in midnight lit by starlight neon-sign bright

she comes on like evensong
lovely as the day is long
like a glass of champagne wearing lipstain drenched in summer rain

for one sip of her lips
i would give all of my worldly possessions
for just one kiss

record gets into a groove
heavy tremors shake the room
little aphrodite gets so wild she kicks off her shoes

i’m in orbit at her side
an erratic satellite
no telemetry her gravity it cannot be denied

for one sip of her lips
i would give all of my worldly possessions
for just one kiss

in a film - suddenly i feel i’m cast in a film
maybe then i’d have a chance
in a film romance

i imagine we both meet in the lane where lovers leap
but when i’ve seduced her the producer recuts the scene

then a slow song starts to play
and she finally looks my way
it’s a silent feature - i’m struck speechless
we just start to sway

for one sip of her lips
i would give all of my worldly possessions
for just one kiss
