For whatever we felt we celebrate the unbearable lightness of being.

Just as you knew it would be.

Just for me

The ignition starts.
Metropolis has nothing on this.
You're breathing in fumes, I taste when we kiss.
Take my hand, come back to the land
Where everything's ours, for a few hours.
Let me see you stripped down to the bone.
