<br>I lay down beside you : I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid,<br>and I come in laughing play ----<br>but, maybe, to be saved.<br>Peer through the backcloth : I am a character in the play,<br>the words I slur are pre-ordained ----<br>we know them anyway.<br>Don`t change your mind, don`t be a fickle friend;<br>don`t change your mind, don`t pretend<br> to something false.<br>Open the toy-box : you are Pandora, I am the World.<br>If you cross the stream, you never can return;<br>If you stay, you`ll surely burn.<br>Don`t change your mind, don`t come all orchid eyes;<br>don`t change your mind, don`t disguise the fear<br> you feel :<br>it`s real, and you must<br>guard your castle well, for I am the lone wolf,<br> and the boar at bay -----<br>grant me your Pax, you know we only live today,<br>and on, and on, and into :<br>"so Long" -- it takes so long to drown;<br>it takes so very long to choke on the taste you`d spurned.<br>If you cross the stream you never can return;<br>If you stay you`ll surely burn.
