Another Week or So
© 2007 Suzanna Young
I know you’ll leave me, probably next month
I can feel it in my bones
It’ll be a quick and simple abandonment
You’ll forget to text, forget to phone
It was obvious we were always only for the short term
knew it right from the start
It’s enough to make me writhe, enough to make me squirm
because it breaks my heart
But for now, all I want is you to hold me
tell me it’s gonna be fine
Say it’s for eternity
forever you’ll be mine
I had a whole list of reasons
we’d never make it if we tried
I must’ve lost it cuz now we’re together
but soon I’m bound to cry
The tears will drown me from toe to head
I won’t swim away from your bed
To punish your leaving, will my lashes be whips?
For self-annihilation, I’m so equipped, yeah
But for now, all I want is you to hold me
tell me it’s gonna be fine
Say it’s for eternity
forever you’ll be mine
All I want is you to hold me
tell me it’s gonna be fine
Say it’s for eternity
Forever you’ll be mine
I’ll wake up next to you and still know
it’ll only be another week or so
Just kiss me, just hug me,
just wrap your body round me
intertwined at the hips and ankles
enchained heart to heart, to heart to heart
Just miss me, just want me,
just clasp your hands around me
slap those lips on my cheeks
engaged part to part, take it to heart
Never let me go, never let me go, never let me go
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know
Though in the morning
I’ll wake up next to you and still know...
that it’ll only be another week or so
I’ll wake up next to you and still know
that it’ll only be another week or so
But for now, all I want is you to hold me
Tell me it’s gonna be fine
Say it’s for eternity
forever you’ll be mine
All I want is you to hold me
Tell me it’s gonna be fine
Say it’s for eternity
forever you’ll be mine
I’ll wake up next to you and still know
it’ll only be another week or so
still know it’ll only be another week or so
(Forever you’ll be mine...)

Cigarette
© 2007 Suzanna Young
I am your cigarette
your addictive regret
to feed your savage tongue
I’m just a bad habit
that feels good when you have it
leave you hacking up a lung
You inhale me just to blow me away
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
I am your cigarette
I am your cigarette
I am your cigarette
I am your cigarette
paper tight around you
I do all I can do
do all I can do
to keep you coming back
to your dirty bad habit
cuz I’m better than 80 proof
better than 80 proof
yeah, yeah, yeah
You inhale me just to blow me away
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
I am your cigarette, I, I...
I am your cigarette
you’ll get no reprieve
your lips glued to me
I am your cigarette
your addiction to feed
as I always will be
You inhale me just to blow me away
You inhale me just to blow me away
Roll me up, blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
Take a puff of me
can’t get enough of me
blow me up, blow me out
blow me off and away
blow me off and away
blow me off and away |
Double Of You
© 2007 Suzanna Young
Can I think to move, to breathe
to wander through these crashing cars?
Is it all involuntary as I take the blows and scars?
There's double of you
and double of me
And the ones I like of both of us
just aren't here
We're headed into traffic
There's a semi-truck ahead
You say there's no need to panic
but I can't believe a word you've said
Double of you
Trouble with me
Trouble with you, you say
is I can't stop making you pay
Double of you and
double of me
and the ones I like of both of us
just aren't here
And there's two too many of you
but not enough of me here

Werewolf Lover
© 2007 Suzanna Young
Frothy, bubbling gums
You’re anxious to come undone
and get the best of me
Glinting steely eyes
preparing for a new life
no matter what it takes, you’ll get me
Foaming at the mouth
a werewolf in bed
ready to clobber
heady with slobber
waiting to be fed
I’m looking for a silver bullet
something to save me from your clutches
pry your fangs from my gullet
something to save me--anything, anything--
from my werewolf lover
You’ll draw blood if you have to
Go crazy when I laugh at you
You’ll get the best of me
Canines aimed for deep throat
Your kisses make me choke
But sooner or later, you’ll get me
If you lunge far enough
claw at all that’s in your way
maybe my cringing
will turn into love
and you can get me to stay
see it all your way
My werewolf lover
Your breath the kiss of death
steamier by the minute
I think I should throw you a bone
but I can’t reach the biscuits
Gotta find that silver bullet
It’s gotta hit close to home
looking for a silver bullet... (chorus)
...my werewolf lover, my werewolf lover...
