| Strange Attraction |
Performed By: The Cure
From the album: "Wild Mood Swings"
It started with a dedication
Lost in admiration
Happy Birthday
I'm forever yours
-Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name
Six months went by
The summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
"Please try to understand
I have to see you
Have to feel you
Tell you all the ways I need you
Yours forever in love"
Strang attraction spreading it's wings
Itvaries but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wongs
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly she wrote me
She'd started smoking poetry
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
She'd pulled me in
I answered her
A Christmas card in Sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
"Can I use some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect, so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms
Strang attraction spreading it's wings
Itvaries but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wongs
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alome into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise this time nothing was the same
"I'm sorry, blame unfatuation, blame imagination
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong
It seems reality destroys our dreams, I won't forget you... -Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes
Strang attraction spreading it's wings
Itvaries but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wongs
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
