And maybe you're the Circle girl trying so not to let on you know I'm looking at the way your toes out through your sandals at funny angles to your and how you it turns me on
Or maybe you're the Spanish playing with hair as you wait for your friend in that wild octagon of mirrors the Tate a coffee shop And I can smell hair from here and I can see eight different angles the way your nipples look through that thin cotton top to infinity And oh God, it's like that and purple-tipped prose like this that's to hemorrhage me, girl
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
Or maybe the bay window girl in Town, in ripped jeans and open Venetians the difficult corner of an empty room white under a naked leaning the bar at the top of your stepladder at the precise moment I'm passing on the steep at the bottom of your garden in the gathering delight
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
Or maybe the foundation painter at the Central School, so fine-boned I could carry you home in portfolio case laced up so you won't cry out on the bus and give the game up lightly, because girl how could I knowingly injure with your perfect lips and wrists, your structure Oh, little acrylic painter, I can eggshells, I can be ginger all the say I'm such a sensitive singer
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
And maybe you're to my voice now on your Walkman or your bedsit letting my songs slip into you on this night in with your pads of doodles and fingers full of pencils and low tar And the music's and pleasant so you hardly notice what I'm singing in "Paper Wraps Rock" And "Murderers, the of Women," my voice is a sound that pleases you that enters you and you just the same and that's how I want it to stay, because, you
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm doing it to be closer to you
But some of those bitter records which accuse women, girls like you of using attractiveness wantonly and willfully to trap and to men who wanted you and could never you men who sometimes felt the perverse to trash the women desired the most men who imagined despised all those immaculate visions what adolescent crap, what kind of idiot would that? Oh, not me because, you
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
But sometimes I think that every man who every man who or composes, deep soul or symphonies it makes no difference, all those men are only making do with Solomon, Confucius, Franz they'd never have it if they'd been as beautiful as you cross-legged there with gentle music lapping around a promise, there where thighs meet of fertility a million artists couldn't with
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
And all the I see you there in the eye of my mind, and all that macho stuff about de Sade and misogyny into thin air and I'm moved to tears just like any sucker who's been bruised by all the things that to be and yet who's to fall down on his knees in of a woman, and say: "Whatever you may do, you may be to me despite the times we disagree, your ridiculous your conventional I you to know that I respect you I accept you and I want you to me I to kiss you, kiss your stockinged knee the uniquely soft flesh on the of your hips,"
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
And I've won you when I've fallen down in of you, and said: "Damn Franz Kafka, damn the Thin White (damn the Thin Duke) it's you and you alone I'm doing for," When I'm through with and pastiche (throwing in lovers' eyes) when you've let me make to you the slowest, way that I know how (when you do for me, baby) and it feels so (bear with me) that's I'll think of Paul Klee's epitaph: "Here lies the painter Klee somewhat closer than to the heart of creation but far from enough,"
And girl, I lie far from enough to you...
