                         afloat, i let my mind drift
    the ground below me, afloat
                         afloat, i needed not a lift
                                but oh my, how could my chair be
afloat

and the drops hang still
                       time to take a pill?

oh for that long lost toy

the look in her eyes

as she rocked her thighs

remember the sighs?
