POWDER DRY

I’m ready to race a horse at the gates Guts in a twist I’m a coiled spring She’s with the guys a beauty in tow Looking austere like the wife of a king And she must be getting the vibe Sparks must be kissing the front of her eyes It’s electric wire night I’m a vapor trail in cringing skies

I’m a danger a loaded gun My heart it yearns but she don’t buy In my head I’m shoutin’ out Hey don’t keep your powder dry

There’s no breathing wet and saucy Just her lips slightly parted Purring out affirmations To her friends who keep her guarded Walking into the late late show Juggling for best position But guys hang around like body guards It’s war and its attrition

I’m getting up close Got something to say Heart’s tapping flames There’s a smile on my face Saying can we just embrace – and get something started Saying let’s just embrace – get something started
