Rubicon Lyrics

Rubicon lyrics

I lay down beside you : I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid,
and I come in
laughing play ----
but, maybe, to be saved.
Peer through the
backcloth : I am a character in the play,
the words I slur are
pre-ordained ----
we know them anyway.
Don't change your mind, don't
be a fickle friend;
don't change your mind, don't pretend
           
      to something false.
Open the toy-box : you are Pandora, I am the
World.
If you cross the stream, you never can return;
If you stay,
you'll surely burn.
Don't change your mind, don't come all orchid eyes;
don't change your mind, don't disguise the fear
                  you
feel :
it's real, and you must
guard your castle well, for I am the
lone wolf,
               and the boar at bay -----
grant me your
Pax, you know we only live today,
and on, and on, and into :
"so
Long" -- it takes so long to drown;
it takes so very long to choke on the
taste you'd spurned.
If you cross the stream you never can return;
If
you stay you'll surely burn.
