the stars that shine and the stars that shrink-

Spellbound

stardustmagic by you.

Dazzle

swallowing diamonds

a cutting throat

your teeth when you grin

reflecting beams on tombstones


a jamboree of surprises

playing russian roulette

or the lucky clip

a clenched fist to your heart

coal dust on your lungs


a silver tongue for the chosen one

heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn


skating bullets on angel dust

in a dead sea of fluid mercury

baby piano cries

under your heavy index and thumb

pull some strings -- let them sing


the stars that shine and the stars that shrink

in the face of stagnation the water runs

before your eyes

dazzle

it's a glittering prize


Spellbound


From the cradle bars

comes a beckoning voice

it sends you spinning

you have no choice......


You hear laughter

cracking through the walls

it sends you spinning

you have no choice


Following the footsteps

of a rag doll dance

we are entranced

Spellbound


And don't forget

when your elders forget

to say their prayers

take them by the legs

and throw them down the stairs


When you think

your toys have gone beserk

it's an illusion

you cannot shirk

you hear laughter

cracking through the walls

it sends you spinning

you have no choice


Following the footsteps

of a rag doll dance

we are entranced

Spellbound
