What could the world be,
If I could flee from this obesity...

I wished, once upon a time,
For riches and fine diamonds, and impressive cars...

Think not harsh thoughts,
And a gnashing of the teeth...

The lightning flashes vividly,
as the passion in me thrives...

I was sitting on my front porch swinging,
Not doing much, but a little thinking...

It's a lonely night,
Staring into a starless black...

The irritation of the sun has caused me to fall...
Back to the shadows of the clandestine night...

Darkness falls, and it's time to be afraid,
Hiding under the covers, in a fortress she made...

A piece of me is dead,
In a rotten, swamp-like abyss...

1st Verse: It was only one night of magic,
With the woman of auburn curls...

It's a human condition,
A ritual rite...

I made a mistake, a dire wrong,
One night of stupidity, and you are forever gone...
