Uncle Tim's Bench - Siren's Play Lyrics

Lead me not into temptation
Passion overtakes me
I'm a troubled troubadour
Only you could break me
I can't foresee the magic-makin'
Right before you take me
Come what may, I let you lead me
Only to forsake me

Miffed and mad, my muffled moans
Were not enough to make you
Stick around a little while longer
So that I could take you
To my sanctuary place
Where I just might save you
From those demons which, without my love
Would surely break you

Leave me hangin' from my line
You sassy, little siren
One more tease like last night's rush
And Dolly I'll be buyin'
A drink for some lost soul
Who knows my time on stage is flyin'
I don't mean to make you blue
But sugar you'll be cryin'

Patty cake, patty cake
Emerald Eyes
Shimmy this way
In your red high tops and white lies
Tiger-lily-twirling
Will you take chance on me?
Cut that sexy-black-dress-rug
As I sing sweet to you by the sea

Is pink-petal-pirouetting mischief
Really worth the price?
I'm all yours for now, but Dolly
Forever's just tonight

Tell me that you love me
Say you'd be all mine
Faint of heart from you feint of breath
You torment me inside
Clear my cobwebs, cut my cuffs
Drop another line
Pull me out and break my binds
And drown me in your Emerald Light

Forever's just tonight
