Take It Easy (Love Nothing)

First with your hands, then with your mouth A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds I was a fool, you were my friend We've made it happen You took off your clothes, left on the light You stood there so brave, you used to be shy Each feature improved, each movement refines And eyes like a showroom Now they're spreading out the blankets on the beach But that weatherman's a liar, he said it'd be raining But it's clear and blue, as far as I can see Left by the lamp, right next to the bed On a cartoon cat pad, she scratched with a pen "Everything is as it has always been This never happened" "Don't take it too bad, it's nothing you did Just once something dies, you can't make it live You're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid But I am a woman" So I laid back down, wrapped myself up in the sheet And I must have looked like a ghost, 'cause something frightened me And since then I've been so good at vanishing Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free And a little bit empty No, it isn't so hard to get close to me There'll be no arguments, we will always agree And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave We'll both take it easy But if you stay too long inside my memory I will trap you in a song tied to a melody And I'll keep you there, so you can't bug me
