There's beauty in the silence. I hope you learned your lesson. I hope because you played with fire - That your fingers and tongue were burnt. I hope the thought lingers in your mind like flames that never stop dancing. I hope you realize when it's too late. Cause you're too...
Baby, You ain’t a baby anymore. Hold your skin up to the mirror and tell me what you see. Let me know how you’ve changed. Let me see how you’ve changed. Girl’s got liquid metal on her chest, Golden breastplate to counter the arrows When she’s thinking out loud. Baby, You ain’t a baby...
There you are. In the middle of a dozen crowded buildings. A farmers tan caresses your skin, You cast your eyes on the people But that's all they are to you. No emotions. No substance. You want something more. Despite the commotion You see a glow, A woman selling flowers. Her hair hangs low. You watch her...

And glazed like...
Hey, Babe. You look like you've got something missing. Let me grab you a drink. Take my hand for the moment While we glide through The amazon. The lights hit your face And you don't make a sound. Green streaks go down your waist I'm liking your inner JLO. Hey! Oh! Yo! Bartender! Pour me a double on...
