This End Up (Brown/Millard)
Boldly she advanced
into the circle of parallels
She was crazy for craziness;
I was crazy for her
Forward in reverse
fully apprised of her stratagems
or what was discrete of the lot of them;
I was prepared for the worst
Could I ever see around a curve?
Could I ever conjure up the nerve?
Could I fall a million miles
while I was running in place?
Look at how she danced,
light rays bending all through her eyes
borrowed, begged for, or hypnotized
-- I was lunging for sure
"This end up," I cried,
hanging fire 'til she smelled my fear
Then I was plunged through the atmosphere,
branded, blackened, and cursed
Fricasee of crow or just hors d'oeuvres?
Did I want the cringing I deserve?
Could I leak a million tears
and smile while running in place?
When I guessed her velocity...
I couldn't suss out her position
Pushed Rewind, but once I could find her,
my obsession went into remission
Craving fusion and slouching toward fission
Coldly she enhanced
something like viscera blasphemy
While her constant inconstancy
fixed my phasers on 'blur'
Now I'm too well versed
in making waves of progesterone
I carry the juice like the best of them...
and I'm ready to burst
Did I ever see around a curve?
Why'd I ever conjure up the nerve?
How'd I fall a million miles
while I was running in place?
Did I ever see around a curve?
Why'd I ever conjure up the nerve?
How I leaked a million tears
and smiled while running in place
