larceny & lace

<sub>a gallimaufry of imagery
a mixture of pictography
a mystery of you
an enigma in lieu

of larceny and lace
a partially seen face
obscured by masks
removed one after another

an addled admonition
forming after an admission of regret
youre given what you get, and yet

with larceny and lace
your heart is all over the place
youre not the same
since you first exchanged impassioned glances

with your lover
from across the sea, he and she will be
sharply impressed when the east meets the west
the rest is history

an anomalous hypothesis
probably bacchanalian in design
turning water into wine
but for the wrong desire

mischievous mephistopheles
thought he could commit larceny
and walk free
but thats not how its bound to be, youll see

a jamboree, a jubilee
a dance, indubitably, of romance
when the two become fused again
a beautiful plan

when larceny met lace
he thought hed spoil it with disgrace
but it backfired in his face! (haha!)
what a sham

and now the lovers
all oer the world, the boys and girls
are singing a song
but not one thats been sung for a long time
its finally right

in the summer
the sun does shine on you and i
and it makes me wonder
why we wasted time on that gadfly

in the summer the sun does shine
over everyone, dont care what you done
ah, in the summer the sun does shine
warming up your bones, making young again the old
in the summer the sun does shine
making everything feeling new again
in the summer the sun does shine
on you and i</sub>
