I Can't Breathe (When She's Around)

her eyes are something
words can't describe
the scent of farewell
the bite in her lies
yet there's something precious
in the weight of her kiss

I can't breathe when she's around

gunsmoke in the air
when she arrives
a rose is a rose
but she is not a girl

I can't breathe when she's around

sparks and crimson
she stares as with a hex
in a moment she has blown away
the theory of the next

i can't breathe when she's around

if only her love could suffocate me like her britches do
then maybe we could talk
'cos sometimes she makes me feel like a vegetable
and then I want her even more
