type a tale, tell a story
wake up pretty morning glory
captivate them one by one
take them 'till the deed is done

strap them in, hold them tight
don't let them go until first light
but not the dawn of the sunrise
the light you seek is in their eyes

let them gape, see their awe
stronger than with tooth or claw
is your grip around their souls
more gravity than of black holes

mesmerize, cast a spell
hell is heaven, heaven's hell
nothing's ever as it seems
shatter wishes, crumble dreams

paint with verbs, sculpt with nouns
make their heads spin round and round
wield we power oh so great
never too soon nor too late

play with here, flirt with there
nothing's as solid as the air
it is now as it was then
hypnotizing power of the pen
