A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction Tab

by Bright Eyes


                                  
            The language in the dimmer rooms
                                               
            Seems to represent the light source well
                                     
            How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
                                                    
            With the movement of the music and the madness
                                                       
            That is pulling me into this
            
            And the shades of the lamps are woven red
            
            The light, it stains and consecrates
            
            Anointing all forgotten forms
            
            That swirl and smoke and haunt this place
            
            The girls in gowns all nurse the dark
            
            Pulling it near to their swelling breasts
            
            And watch as it seeps to their hearts
            
            And beats within their virgin chests
            And here I know seduction breeds                            same all 
            throght here 
            From wanton hearts that would seduce                        just 
            follow the pattern
            And grows and spreads its vine and leaves
            Embracing those who might have moved
            But now remain to drink the night
            From vials black and thick with steam
            Such intoxicating delights
            That leave you drunk inside this dream
            ,,,
            And you watch them take the light from you
            
            And you find yourself
            
            On a velvet couch
                                 
            Tasting the skin of a foreign girl
            
            Her eyes are black
            
            And wet like oil
                                              
            And she ties your hands with a string of pearls
            
            And you tremble like a frightened bird
            
            As she closes in and captures you
            
            To place you in the silver cage
            
            Deep within her poisoned womb
            
            And once you're safe inside
                                   
            She might let you out to fly
                               
            In the circles around the room
            
            But it's always night
                       
            And there is no moon
                        
            And you wonder if you are alive
                         
            And you're not sure if you want to be
                         
            But you drank her sweat like it was wine
                                              
            And you lay with her on a bed of blue
            
            And it's awful sweet
                                   
            Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you
                            to you
