lyrics

Venus Smile

These days it doesn't seem it ever mattered if
your sea was green or eyes were blue
last time I looked my eyes were clear
and you were wiser than you knew
you hide behind your irony and words that mock your depth
and when at last your heart is broken know
there's more to you than this

Everyone asks the same question
When will Venus smile on me?

Too bad it took so long to find your voice
it still hides now and then but if you keep on showing up
then you have found that you can trust those words to something baby, that ain't you
You told me in another world
you needed something more
then you asked for me to wait for you
and you didn't even come

Gotta believe that you called me for a reason
you bust into my world swing that carrot on a string
if everyone believes in fate
then what is taking it so long
to finish what it started then
and bring you home to me

So I ask myself why do you shadow me?
I didn't ask for this
a long time since I've had to love, well, anyone but me
then the cards say it is matter
secret forces leading those
whose lives belong together
but it's so hard to believe

Everyone asks the same question
when will Venus smile on me?
Everybody wants to know the answer
when will Venus smile on me?

You told me in another world
you needed something more
and then you asked for me to love you
and you didn't even come
you hide behind your irony and words that mock your depth
and when at last your heart is broken know
there's more to you than this

How do you take the image of a black hole and make it positive? According to Alpha Cat, "When I wrote the song I'd read how astronomers had determined that you could escape a black hole, but only by going all the way through and out the other side. And that leads to this worm hole theory, where not only do you avoid annihilation, but you arrive at a place you might never have reached otherwise. ... more
