Mantis Mantra - Vespertina

I see you’re having trouble sleeping

Keep me up or I’ll be dreaming of you

And pretty soon I’ll be worth keeping

But for now, baby, keep dreaming that day will come

That day will come

I see you’re having trouble breathing

Let me help you out of all that clothing

And like a snake I’ll slither on your skin

But only give enough to make you want it again

I’ll make you want me again

I’ll be your favorite girl, that way I’ll never get hurt

Keep you as far as I can, so it won’t happen again

I’ll be your favorite girl, that way I’ll never get hurt

Keep you as far as I can, so it won’t happen again

I see you’re having trouble smiling

Let me show you something you won’t soon forget

And as I’m staring at the dresser

I’m hoping there’s no evil looming overhead

'Cause everything you said

Was always on a bed

I’ll be your favorite girl, that way I’ll never get hurt

Keep you as far as I can, so it won’t happen again

Baby, I’ve traveled the world and taught things you’ll never learn

On weekends I’ll be your girl, Monday through Friday you’re dirt

To me…
