Don't Forget Your Sunscreen

*

You sound like an angel, he whispered to me

But I dance way better than I sing

I’ve got an old halo on my rear view

Making my way to the new frontier

Watch what you say, I’ve got my head on a swivel

I need you like God needs the devil

Light needs dark and good needs evil

Eternity’s coming and it lasts forever

Your power coursing through my veins

I bit my tongue, you donned the reins

I've found my pleasure in the pain

I don't need sun, I pour like rain

So, go on now, show who you are

A no-good doer in the back of my car

Blowing smoke-rings with your cigar

Strumming heartstrings like a guitar

You played me good

You played me hard

Misunderstood

You played your cards

You called my bluff

I read you wrong

Thought I was tough

You stole my song

You changed the notes

Rewrote the words

Made me the goat

Flipped me the bird

You were out of there

Like slick on butter

Like fire needs air

You ran for cover

Left me behind, to take the blame

No longer blind, I bore your shame

And wrote these words

A full-blown warning

To all the girls

Save them some mourning

Beware the devil and his smile

He may be charming for awhile

But soon enough, you will get burned

Just look at me and my sunburn
