Men stop, lascivious panting

I can't move, I can't speak, do her feet touch the ground?

She is steel, she is bone

 I will paint  her

        I will

Is this how it feels

When God sends you a muse

        D       A/E  D/F#
And you let her walk away?

E/G#     A          E/B
 I won't rest til I find her

Won't rest til I have her...

Smell the scent on her neck

Smell the sweat on her skin
