Clouds on your Shoulder

" Why did you let me run,
When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole
Where your heart should be?
Liar. Couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried.
Just take a look (before you run off and hide)
At your victim.
Arise.

Clouds on your shoulder;
Aren't they grazed by the afterglow?
How quiet they gather
When the storm is about to blow.

No, don't look away.
Caught in the crossfire,
And it ain't no wind of change.
I'm talking of crime and passion's rage.

Summer of madness, or the undertow,
Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire
On a stranger's smile.
Bride of wire. How disguise so easily cracked
Saw your heart turn spade.
This orchid's turned to black.

Graze on your shoulder,
Like the clouds in the afterglow.
How quiet they gather,
When the storm is about to blow.

No, don't look away.
Caught in the crossfire,
And it ain't no wind of change.
I'm talking of crime and passion's rage.

Way down by the shoulder,
In the haze of the afterglow,
Stranded together,
And the storm is about to blow.

No, don't look away.
Caught in the crossfire,
And it ain't no wind of change.
I'm talking of crime and passion's rage."

...Zeus! During such time as I was overdosing on Seven and the Ragged Tiger. I just kinda kept it on loop; it was crazy.
