Zugzwang
Intoxicating Tapestry: 4 Star View's Zugzwang Revelry
Lyrics
You were nodding to the music mellow and cool
You were enjoying the music calmly and casually.
So I scooched on over next to you on a stool
I moved closer to you by sliding my seat on a stool.
I could be a little brimstone in your handbasket
I could be a source of trouble or chaos in your life.
You’d be my shoulder demon making all that racket
You would be the negative influence encouraging chaos or mischief.
Please, just sit here next to me
Asking you to sit beside me.
Not sure what I’s expecting but you sure blew my mind
I didn't anticipate much, but you surprised and amazed me.
With a palpitating heart and spiders up my spine
Feeling excitement and nervousness.
Like poisonous incense, colored clouds and I’m blind
Feeling overwhelmed, as if by intoxication.
So pour more of your tincture please one more time
Asking for more of whatever captivated me.
And I was strolling back over from the hungry tip jar
Returning after trying to earn money from the audience.
And I scooched on over next to you at the bar
Moving closer to you again at the bar.
You say you work in retail, well you’ve got me sold
Impressed by your skills, even if you work in retail.
Wait five minutes, I’ll bring you myrrh and gold
Promising to bring you something special.
Please, just sit here next to me
Asking for your presence next to me.
Not sure what I’s expecting but you sure blew my mind
Surprised by how you exceeded my expectations.
With a palpitating heart and spiders on my spine
Feeling excitement and nervousness again.
Like poisonous incense, colored clouds and I’m blind
Feeling overwhelmed, as if by intoxication, again.
So pour more of your tincture please one more time
Requesting more of whatever captivated me, again.
And I heard you above the static like some back attic magic
Hearing your voice distinctly amidst noise, feeling captivated by you.
You’ve got your pins all through me
Feeling controlled or manipulated by you.
A note on a white napkin, the corner you’ve got me backed in and
Feeling cornered or trapped by your influence.
I don’t want to be free
Not wanting to break free from your hold.
You keep a blow torch armed at the back of your throat
Metaphorically describing your ability to wield power or intimidation.
With lasers and daggers hidden by eyelids closed
Concealing dangerous or threatening intentions behind closed eyes.
Take me and break me and make me walk on your coals
Willing to endure hardship or pain imposed by you.
And I’ll return to your sewn oats like a lost wounded foal
Returning to your influence despite feeling hurt or lost.
And please, just sit here next to me
Asking for your presence again.
Not sure what I’s expecting but you sure blew my mind
Surprised by your impact on me, repeatedly.
With a palpitating heart and spiders on my spine
Feeling excitement and nervousness repeatedly.
Like poisonous incense, colored clouds and I’m blind
Feeling overwhelmed, as if by intoxication, repeatedly.
So pour more of your tincture please one more time
Requesting more of whatever captivated me, repeatedly.
And pour more of your tincture please one more time
Repeatedly asking for more of the captivating influence.
