I could be your cartoon character
smashing through the scene
got to make a presence, got to make sure
I'm seen, make sure people don't miss me
I can wear my masquerade cat mask
musical notes, gold cat eye glare
kitty cat, make me purr
then I can come through the window
of slumber, with my façade forsaken face
stroke the plumes, brush away the glitter
Take me away from this place
of disaster, my king of crisis!
I will come through the forest, nude nymph
flowers in my hair, glitter still there
sat on Pan's lap, you'll watch and stare
did nobody ever tell you, life isn't fair?
I will be the ingenue
Faraway whisper in your dreams
Distant star ever burning out, cataclysm of
salt streams, queen of the mystique
I will be cloaked in silk robes
Jewels and feathers, ruby red ribbons
treasure of the deluge
Then I will glide through the water
of the greatest ocean, with a summer siren song,
floating on an August sunset
far from where I belong!
Release me of my seaweed snare.
I will fly from a distant land, of snow and iced lakes
batter my glass eyes, light frosted lashes
Chione and I, hand in hand, with cobalt sashes
Boreas on her heel, into the snow she dashes!
