Almost Gothic
Im working on gospel time these days[the summer - this could be the cool part of the summer]
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room shes so severe
A wise child walks right out of here
Im so excited I can barely cope
Im sizzling like an isotope
Im on fire so cut me some slack
[chorus]
First shes way gone then she comes back
Shes all business then shes ready to play
Shes almost gothic in a natural way
This house of desire is built foursquare
[the city - the cleanest kitten in the city]
When she speaks its like the slickest song I ever heard
Im hanging on her every word
As if Im not already blazed enough
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
Thats her style - to jerk me around
[chorus]
First shes all feel then she cools down
Shes pure science with a splash of black cat
Shes almost gothic and I like it like that
This dark place so thrilling and new
Its kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless Im totally wrong
I hear her rap and brother its strong
Im pretty sure that what shes telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized
Ill just have to make it work somehow
Im in the amen corner now
Its called love - I spell l -u- v
[chorus]
First shes all buzz then shes noise-free
Shes bubbling over then theres nothing to say
Shes almost gothic in a natural way
Shes old school then shes like young
Little eva meets the bleecker street brat
Shes almost gothic but its better than that
