Recitation w/ N.L.

You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
Youd have to be a man to know
How good that feels, how sweetMy mirror twin, my next of kin
Id know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deepI loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see Im just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleetWho loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deepI know you had to lie to me
I know you had to cheat
To pose all hot and high
Behind the veils of sheer deceitOur perfect porn aristocrat
So elegant and cheap
Im old but Im still into that
A thousand kisses deepIm good at love, Im good at hate
Its in between I freeze
Been working out but its too late
(Its been too late for years)But you look good, you really do
They love you on the street
If you were here Id kneel for you
A thousand kisses deepThe autumn moved across your skin
Got something in my eye
A light that doesnt need to live
And doesnt need to dieA riddle in the book of love
Obscure and obsolete
And witnessed here in time and blood
A thousand kisses deepBut Im still working with the wine
Still dancing cheek to cheek
The band is playing Auld Lang Syne
But the heart will not retreatI ran with Diz, I sang with Ray
I never had their sweet
But once or twice they let me play
A thousand kisses deepI loved you when you opened
Like a lily to the heat
You see Im just another snowman
Standing in the rain and sleetWho loved you with his frozen love
His secondhand physique
With all he is and all he was
A thousand kisses deepBut you dont need to hear me now
And every word I speak
It counts against me anyhow
A thousand kisses deep
