Total Eclipse of the Heart
Virgin moon
Every now and then
Diana breaks out the arrows.
A hunter, she was born in Italy.
Turning tides
Every night the bar is full
and empty at the same time, you know
it kind of waxes and wanes.
Turning on:
the Turned Ons and the Turners
all circle each other, but
sometimes you just run out of time.
Mars and Venus
are just fucking fuckpads
and everyone is mad
at the universe because they're alone.
Virgin moon, bright night
The hunter sees a boy that she likes.
Virgin moon, bright night
Every now and then I fall apart.
Turn away
Every now and then
I watch them work on the street
and then I go and shop for a shirt.
Turn to me
Girls are aware of who's
approaching, boys attune to
who is running away.
Lock and key.
Home and garden.
Shop for clothes.
Medium small small medium small.
Virgin moon
goddess Diana's bow is seen
in the crescent phase,
in your belly, in your eyes.
Small sky, big eyes
Moons of your shoulders, sun of your heart.
"Turn around! Smile!"
It's funny how beauty makes everything fall apart.
And I need you now tonight.
We could be alone together.
We could be on our phones together.
I'm overcome, just come over.
The moon relates to melancholy.
The moon is in a song.
Okay, Cupid. Okay, Diana.
The choices are the shadows, don't be bad, don't be wrong.
The bar is breaking up. Hunters and the herd.
Hugs with cigarettes and a few fumbled words.
I really, really need you tonight.
Whatever's going to start tonight.
Totally. Starting. Tonight.
Early in the day
I was choosing a shirt
Now I lie with you in the dark.
Tracing out the moon's
actual ellipse from your heart.
Sort of like a circle or
a limaçon with an arrow's sharp.
The imagined shape that you'd see
if you saw an eclipse of the heart.
