A verse from a song I wrote called "It's All About Me." It came to me as I was sitting on the bathroom floor in a hotel in Bangkok in the middle of the night. Ain't no knowing when lightning will strike:
I REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME ON OUR FIRST DATE,
WHILE YOU WERE LAPPING UP THE CRUMBS I LEFT ON MY DESSERT PLATE,
‘THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LOVE YOU ‘TILL JESUS WALKED THE EARTH ONCE MORE.
WHEN MY EYES ROLLED BACK TO THEIR PROPER PLACE.
I SAW THAT YOU WERE SATAN DRESSED IN SATIN AND LACE,
I SAID THREE HAIL MARY’S, CROSSED MY SELF AND MADE A BEE-LINE FOR THE DOOR.
It gets worse.
David
