lyrics

There's something about the way your eyes shine in this light
That glare and pout spark something in my mind
A stone spark glow in my heart
Never before has anyone I adored struck me in such a way
You're almost jumping out at me straight from the page
Inked lips with a glossy taste

Fantasy obscene, a farfetched dream
Obsession's a disease with no easy therapy
Oh what to do?

A subscription to your image removed with a surgeon's touch
A Sistine style monument to our love
The last thing seen before I sleep

Fantasy obscene, a farfetched dream
Obsession's a disease with no easy therapy
Oh what to do?
What to do?

I know that you and I are all in my mind
But scissors and glue make it feel so true
Until I realize there's only me and no you
Just a blue rose in a fashion magazine

I've got a prescription escape unprescribed to this fragile heart
It's just so much easier to sleep than to be apart
Love is so exhausting sometimes

Fantasy obscene, a farfetched dream
Obsession's a disease with no easy therapy
Oh what else could I do?
What else could I do?
What else could I do?
