SYNESTHESIA A strange gift
I cannot share
I see when others only hear
Only men prevail
Tenor, baritone, they pull me in
My mind fills with squares
A sensuous mosaic of nuances
A strange gift
I cannot share
I see when others only hear
Red, warm breath between words
Tautness of their neck
Prominence of their adams apple
Present themselves in exquisite detail
A strange gift
I cannot share
I see when others only hear
Notes pushed out
Tongue pressed against their teeth
The thickness of their lips
Lyrics escape in bubbled alphabets
A strange gift
I cannot share
I see when others only hear

Turn him on
The years disappear in the blink of an eye
Just leave me there
I don't ever want to return
Let him steal me away, hold me captive
Turn him on
The years vanish in a flood of passion
Just let me drown in it
I don't want to be saved
Let him envelop me, swallow me whole
Turn him on
the years mean nothing, time stands still
Just let the sickness spread
I don't' want a cure
Let his illness take me, kill me
I'll die smiling my heart bursting
(Namaste, Gary Numan, Peter Murphy, David Sylvian)
