Joan of Arc

(part 1)

Loud, brash, sweet thing

Bring me some water to wet my whistle

For you

Love only lasts ten minutes at a time

Only this time

The time is mine

So go on over

Lay it down

Cause all your cards ain't showin

And my hands are full

I'll drop this heavy load

When words spill soft and free

Meaning what they should

We can play out this hand,

But, your bets aren't high enough

And I’m burning at the stake

(part 2)

I can’t give

 without giving it all

And you can’t get what you want

 without the bu, bu, buts

Or the this and that

So you better think quick

Baby, better buck up,

Cause this ain’t no free sample,

Honey

You want to taste this treat

You’d better buy the box.

And there ain’t no coupons

So you can take your chances and double down

Or turn…. those straight legged jeans

Back the fuck around

Tisk, tisk

You move to fast.

(part 3)

Love lay where you may

Cause right now

 I can’t stop looking you up and down

Taking every opportunity for pass by ass grabs

 in sunlit spring spots.

This season has a welcoming grip

But as we both know

Seasons only last so long

Before the bitter heat becomes too much

And breathing is much harder than you’d think

At this altitude sounds move swiftly to ears and eyes

Here we need to be covert

So Cover up now baby

Be soft

(part 4)

Baby blue

You got to many knots to remember

tied to tightly to your fingers

A fist full of Ribbon bowed love affairs

But let’s just clear the air

Get your self another glass of whiskey

And wipe that memory clean

For tonight is new

And I’m a new born baby

with no where’s to be

(part 5)

Let’s just kiss and cough until

sore throats pull us under silken sheets

and good night kisses ripen us a new illness

For that is all we have to offer or offend

My dear dark eyed friend

Tell me all about your true love

As my hand slowly drifts below this southern belt

where religion is no where to be seen
