Have You Got?

 

Have you got a perfume

Evanescent as our dream

That will remind me

Of a happy hour.

 

Have you got a tale to tell me

That will make us both forget

That this place is not ours

Nor is this what we should get?

 

Have you got a face to show me

That will turn me into stone

Or a perfect curvy body

To distract me from myself

 

Do you have a bit of nectar

Some of which I already tasted

Or a game to play with me

Or a strategy to master

So that I can tomorrow

Look you in the eyes.
