Venus looks but she will not talk,
Gypsy Davy boats his dock,
Mitch the drunk forgot to walk away.
Candy apples happy new year,
Please describe the thoughts that you hear,
You don't have a thing to fear with me.
Venus near the sunset there,
She doesn't mean to give you a scare,
Don't you see there's nothing to hide,
Don't you know, there's something inside.
I know you, you're so familiar,
Did I meet you playing billiards?
You are just the eyeful filler I need.
With the river at your door,
There's so much we could explore,
If I weren't so saddle sore just now.
Venus near the sunset there,
She doesn't mean to give you a scare,
Don't you see there's nothing to hide,
Don't you know, there's something inside.
Now you're playing in the park,
Now you're reading in the dark,
There's no need for snide remarks right now
Loving you and paper dolls,
At the centre of it all,
What a time for you to fall and how.
Venus near the sunset there,
Look at what he did to her hair, and walls,
Don't you see there's nothing to hide,
Don't you know, there's something inside that crawls.
