I will be wrapped around your finger

If you let me be the slithering snake,

Lashing its long parted tongue

At you face.

I will bow down and kiss your feet

If I can suck the essence of your life-blood

Like a leech which will never let go.

You can walk all over me

If I can be the glistening black tar

From the road on a hot summer's day,

Clinging to the bottoms of your soles.

If you want to play the love game this way,

Get you weapons ready.

Prepare to dance through

The dark mazes in my mind,

Through the dungeons of my heart.

Dangle the bait before my eyes,

Smile, wink, and strut when you walk;

I know your kind.

If you want to make a catch,

Let me swallow you whole.
