Tall Drink, Please

Folder: 
Romanticism

a tall drink

to spit out

and a hard pill

to swallow



you enter the room like the horseman

in sleepy hollow

but everybody loves you

and every man serves up his head

on a platter



as everybody loves you



a long look

to gaze at

and a closed thought

to burst each bubble



and it takes you a while

on your round table

to spin in your chair

and spot me



carefully caressing my eyes

with the horizon

just outside of the window

with every glance serving me well

and what's the matter



cause everybody loves you



you tap on my shoulder

and lose your patience

come around to me

while i was turning



that bitter taste on your tongue

as you wish to kiss me

cause i don't drool all over you

with every glance serving me well

and what matters



not everybody loves you



yes, not everybody loves you



not everybody loves you

no matter what you do

you say you don't need me

cause you see i don't need you



and i don't need you to

so don't need me, too

you don't need me too

but what do you think about you?



honestly...



as everybody loves you



not everybody loves you





...a tall drink,

please

and a hard pill

to swallow...
