Friction!

Friction
Nightclubs, nightstalkers
Fast women, fast talkers
Loose lips, loose limbs
The lovely loveless
Sunset to sunrise
Black dresses, black eyes
Tangles of tangos
Hot hands, hot thighs
Why can I never get you?
Theres a sea of bodies between us
I recall the first time i saw you -
Not a dance hall - but a crowded bus
Pressed against the scent of stale sweat -
Friction!
Vampires and witches
Steal bloody red kisses
In go-go boots, itailin suits;
They always dress to kill
They spin their umbrellas
They dance a tarantella..
But im not here for them
I only come here to watch you
I want to make your acquaintance
To escort - to be a gentleman
I want to rub up against you..
Like those scoundrels -
Like those wolves do
They run in packs -
In saabs and SUVS
Oh, these pounding dance clubs
This friction between us
How you throw your body
Its so moving..
But never toward me
Still, I always seem to read
Between the beat
