Slippery Hands

Destiny came to
me yesterday and said

"Oh darling, you're gonna
Find this magical man
Who's going to love you beyond death
Just wait you, sit quietly
Through and through."

You know what I said?
"Fuck you."

I'm not going to sit
And wait for some man,
He could be a God
King of the world
And I would still say no.

I'd claw my way up mountains
And fall,
Suffocate through space,
Drown through oceans.

I'd rest my case until
You see that I don't need a man.
I'll steal the kingdom
Right from his slippery hands
Then I'll be Queen of the world.
