Jacaranda Dust

Eyeshadow made of jacaranda dust Crumbled on the floor I'm trying to sweep up recollections of Dalliances before So I put on my seventies party dress And dance 'till I succumb to dizziness And watch you drink in past loves From the doorway You gave me an ultimatum babe Business or pleasure And I had to take one side, you know For good measure And no matter how you roll the dice We'll never win The motherlode And you'll never whet your appetite With just one lover Sink Sink into the pit of potential Rosewater fills my lungs And I'm drowning Drink Drink in the essence baby I won't be around for much longer For much longer For much longer I leave without a dream in my head It's all over now The sunsets no longer carry that Factor of wow So I pack the bags Send out the ads And get the hell Out of town Because you couldn't whet your appetite With just one lover I remember your eyes on that night That's when I knew you would never be mine I'm drowning Yeah I'm drowning in these memories Yeah I'm drowning In these memories of jacaranda dust I'm trying Yeah I'm trying Yeah I'm trying Not to let myself, let myself Sink Sink into the pit of potential Rosewater fills my lungs And I'm drowning Drink Drink in the essence baby I won't be around for much longer For much longer For much longer And it's a shame That you couldn't whet your appetite With just one lover
