starry-eyed floridian

the adventures of blue bonnie & her cool kid clyde

i see you in the dark, my darling

waiting on edge in my front yard.

i float to you engulfed in flames

preparing for a bittersweet broken heart.

was it something that slipped

from my liquor stained red painted lips?

or casper herself casting a long shadow

on your barren sahara grey walls?

how long did you know that you'd leave me?

since the last time we made love

and you slipped back into the darkness

through my window without a parting kiss?

or did you know from the very beginning

with your white corvette crystal lies?

i remember the way you fought with me

in my bed, pushing me hard to the ground,

and my heart breaks with the death of the day

to think that i'll never hear your voice again

or your low groans or feel your fist wrapped 

like a diamond necklace around my throat.

you haunt my dreams and i cannot sleep,

your shadow still waltzes around my room.

you're larger than life, my burnt out elvis.

they all told me you were a big time dealer.

siesta key was once your home, but now you ride

under the radar in your cool crimson beater.

prison called and your empire almost fell,

but you can't kill the king of floridia,

for he rules the dead straight from hell

without mercy; better take what you're dealt.

pretty kitty, always ocean blue and starry eyed,

baby's a god, heaven found in my cherry pie.

queen of hearts always knows what's on your mind;

i know you'll come around again and then you will be mine.
