Palindromes (original)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REGINA!
Palindromes rave a bitter sweet sound into my ear's drums
the pounding starts a war with my desire, but cannons won't wage war until they're fired
the battle field's a-blaze, oh, can't you see it
it dazes up my brain, you watch the corn burn
like a memory filled only with your discern
it ain't the fire that rolled me down that hill
wasn't the fire that burned at all my will and made me choke
oh, I know it ain't the fire, I know it ain't the fire
but it's the smoke
this candy-coating keeps for only moments
until your lover speaks in more than hushed tones
until this melody is more than palindromes
oh it is no fair this air goes out and back again
leaving me no time to see the mess I'm in
it's just dull dirty light we'll make it clean again
with more than words this time more than words this time
oh, I love you, but not enough to hug you
want to kiss you, not if I have to touch you
how my heart burns.
it must've been those nights when we would sit beneath the lights
and both just y--u--r--n
both just yurn
oh it is no fair this air goes out and back again
leaving me no time to see the mess i'm in
it's just dull dirty light we'll make it clean again
with more than words this time more than words this time
it ain't the fire love, it's the smoke
it ain't the fire love, it's the smoke
