I'm working on gospel time these days 
(The summer this could be the cool part of the summer) 

The sloe eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe 
A wise child walks right out of here 

I'm so excited I can barely cope 
I'm sizzling like an isotope 
I'm on fire so cut me some slack 

First she's way gone then she comes back 
She's all business then she's ready to play 
She's almost gothic in a natural way 

This house of desire is built foursquare 
(The city the cleanest kitten in the city) 

When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard 
I'm hanging on her every word 
As if I'm not already blazed enough 
She hits me with the cryptic stuff 
That's her style, to jerk me around 

First she's all feel then she cools down 
She's pure science with a splash of black cat 
She's almost gothic and I like it like that 

This dark place so thrilling and new 
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view 
Unless I'm totally wrong 
I hear her rap and brother it's strong 

I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies 
But I just stand there hypnotized 

I'll just have to make it work somehow 
I'm in the amen corner now 
It's called love, I spell L -you- V 

First she's all buzz then she's noise-free 
She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say 
She's almost gothic in a natural way 

She's old school then she's like young 
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat 
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
