Eb13add9 I'm working on Db13add9gospel time these days
(The summer the summer this could be
the cool part of the summer)
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room
she's so severe
A wise child walks right out of here
-5
I'm so excited I can barely cope
-5
I'm sizzling like an isotope
I'm on fire so cut me some slack
First she's way gone then she comes back
She's all business then she's ready to play
She's almost gothic in a natural way
| |-5 |
Eb13add9 This house of Db13add9desire is built foursquare
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard
I'm hanging on her every word
-5
As if I'm not already blazed en ough
-5
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That's her style - to jerk me around
[D6/9]
First she's all feel then she cools down
[D6/9]
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
She's almost gothic and I like it like that
-5/ | |
In this dark place so thrilling and new
|-5/ |
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless I'm totally wrong
-5 Amadd9 | |[D6/9] |
I hear her rap and brother it's strong
Abm7sus4 Abm7sus4 Abm7sus4
Gm7sus4 Gm7sus4 Gm7sus4
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized
I'll just have to make it work somehow
/6 -5
I'm in the amen corner now
's called love - I spell L -U- V
Chorus
/6 /6
First she's all buzz then she's noise-free
/6
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say
She's almost gothic in a natural way
She's old
/6 /6
school then she's like young
/6 /6
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
