tonight, the sky is underneath us

i once held an electric switch that mastered your smile
it sent your lips dancing in every direction
like electric sparks
like airplane formations
of course, jewel boxes are dirty tools
not to keep thieves out, but to keep thieves in
There are thieves of smiles and Orphic eyes
that would take the love of you
too far away
so i think,
anyway

and i've decided i'm going to marry a man named anthony. it's probably the most romantic name that has ever breathed on this earth.

i met a man at the music store named anthony. he was good looking, but most definitely not your type. you could probably guess what i mean by that?
