A Poem for Heels Lyrics by Doc Backer

Between the Desert and Her Thighs

2016

Met you in a theater
In the middle of a desert high
Well you scared me shitless
Yeah you and your heroin eyes
The way you pulled me under
A blanket and those feathered thighs
So there began the story
Of a child in a static life
I don’t want you to leave me
I’m in love with your life
So I’ll bind you to me
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
So I told you a story
To cover up the kid inside
Somewhere in the rhyming
Lost who I was inside
The hairless cat
Well she called me out
Shot her down
With limber tongue
One by one
Rung by rung
Hid myself from the ones who love
I don’t want you to leave me
I’m in love with your life
So I’ll bind you to me
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
So now you fell into heels
For the man in the poem
And that's just it doll
It was only a poem
So now you fell into heels
For the man in the poem
And that’s just it doll
It was only a poem
I am who I am now
And you are who you were
And the desert between us
Makes me not so sure
Our last conversation
Ended in ever
And that was the end
Of the storyteller
I don’t want you to leave me
I’m in love with your life
So I’ll bind you to me
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
With amber
Butterflies
And lies
