cotton candy sunrise shells slide over my feet /ls

pink velveteen tales of boys in bow ties /kk

her party dress a match for the bubble-gum in her hair /ml

strawberry Jell-O she flings a spoonful at her sister /ct

chasing leaves the roses in a little girl's cheeks/sw

our vows in the passion lipstick I bought /mb

a silky lingerie his cheeks flushed /b'oki

the subtle hue of a ruby reflected in her face/ kr

rose colored frames she leaves her glasses on the night stand /ct

peter sellers reruns clouseau falls in all the same places /ct

a shot in the dark at the new club moulin rouge/kk

exposed skin raw from the wind smokers hide in a doorway /abs

steppin' out from her fuchsia truck, he admires her hitch /db

around his neck a faded mauve tie leftovers from the '70's /kk
