You glitter high And immaculate, you shine.
You are p e r f e c t i o n in every word.

My somebody, you g l i m m e r .
Wavering i n and out like heat.
My anybody, you shine like the sun

Where matters of the truth may be of concern
Your diplomacy borders on f a l s i t y.
Your clean-cut lies. Your immaculate deception
With a s h a r k w h i t e smile

You s p a r k l e . You're like a chandelier.
Perfectly useless and far too high above our heads.

You shimmer i n and o u t of everything
To be found everywhere and nowhere at once.

We can't escape your c l e a n - c u t cages.
Silver like the m o o n on a summer's n i g h t .
We can't avoid your sympathy, which like the stars does shine
Your s a c r i f i c e borders on s e d u c t i o n .
You give b l u n t l y and take s u b t l y .

A butterfly, y o u r metamorphosis
Entwines us a l l into your cocoon.
You insect With golden wings, you sting

You draw us in; and we cannot escape
