lyrics

Pulling me out of my reverie
She walks up to me
Gorgeous creature
Picking a stranger out on the tube line

Eyeing me wild
Intensely bold
Hands on hips, jaunty lips
A threat to my peace of mind

She dares me to stare
She dares me to care
She sends electric signals in the air

From a defiant source
To a candid destination
The heedless light carries
Sensitive information

Wish I could figure out
The rules of her game
Is this some kind of romantic holdup
Or sentimental hit-and-run

Hijack my feelings
Expose this heart of mine
Mirror yourself in me and rape my mind

Mysterious encounter
Mere seconds feel like forever

The drama’s over now
You’re getting off at the next station
The doors open, you turn your back
And leave the rest to my imagination

As I watch you walking away
The day follows its steady course
Life goes on as before but not quite
And I pretend to just ignore the curse

That tease with one glimpse
Of what could have been
Lingers to haunt me til the day I die
