MISTRESS
Inara George
Will you take me as your mistress?
Long and dark hair.
Will you cut it off when it is useless?
All of my hair.
I have never seen the bottom?
The bottom of the well.
Could you ever love a mistress?
It never feels the same.
All the wandering...
live wires and fires and nights.
All your sympathy,
I’d like to feel this way again.
Will you take me as your mistress?
Sure and short of breath.
Could you carry on your business?
Do you already know
the way to my door?
'Cause you've made your way inside
a dozen times before...
The trick is to never look into their eyes;
all the times, all the loaded times.
And it’s belly up, and it’s hot and cold all the time;
all the loaded times.
And it fights
and it lies
and it sighs
and it sighs
and it sighs...
Will you take me as your mistress?
Could you ever love a mistress?
It never feels the same.
An added bonus is that this video is a neat little slideshow of classic Hollywood starlets.
BETWEEN THE BARS
Originally by Elliot Smith, but the Madeleine Peyroux cover is WAY better...
Drink up, baby
Stay up all night.
Things you could do;
You won't, but you might.
The potential you'll be, you'll never see,
promises you'll only make...
Drink up with me now
and forget all about
pressure of days;
Do what I say,
and I'll make you okay--drive them away;
the images stuck in your head.
People you've been before
that you don't want around anymore,
that push, shove, won't bend to your will...
I’ll keep them still.
Drink up, baby
Look at the stars.
And I'll kiss you again,
between the bars;
Where I'm seeing you there, hands in the air--
Waiting to finally be caught.
Drink up one more time,
And I'll make you mine.
And keep you apart, deep in my heart;
Separate from the rest,
where I like you the best.
Keep the things you forgot...
People you've been before
that you don't want around anymore,
that push, shove, won't bend to your will...
I'll keep them still.
