Like a damsel in distress
I’m stressing you
My castle became my dungeon cuz I’m longing for you
I’m Feeling strong for ya
You’re my knight in shining armor
See your face in the silver moon
Hung over the lagoon
And it feels like
[Chorus:]
Dragon days and the fire’s hot
Like a desert need water
I need you a lot
Dragon days
I need to be saved
I’m missin’ you
And the day drags on and on
I’m desperate for ya baby
Do you know what that means?
It means I feel like an addict must feel
When he feigns
In an act of desperation I get lost in ma dreams
Cuz like a lady I’m waiting, waiting for ya
Like a prisoner tied over alligator waters
Waiting for my prince of paradise to come and take me away
This song captures the sultry heat of acknowledged desire. Keys ensnares the persistent pulse of wanting another’s touch to the extent of utter wantonnness…persistent thoughts of fiery consummation…she flicks out a serpent tongue around lyrics of truly urgent need. ‘Dragon days’ make us know we are very much physically alive..headily lost in the contours of the other’s shape and soul …the ‘alligator waters’!!!
A mesmerising hymn to physical intimacy!
