"(When Venus Comes to Mars)" | COLLECTION

(WHEN VENUS COMES TO MARS)

I've got my own Olympus
  Set it up for you
Just a shack, really
  With a driveway,
          gate,
            a puddle.
(And a heart that's blue.)

Stocked it with some fish
But they are not for you
They're for me to watch
(While you're out fishing true.)

In the truck please leave the gun
Can't have them around
(More reasons than just one.)

We could call Diana
She'd be sure to go
She'll help you shoot at fauna
The lynx, a buck, a doe.
(No warthog.)

We'd speak in French
And some Russian, too
(They speak Greek up here.)

I'll kiss your shoulder blades
The rest is up to you
We'll run through the glades
And kick the morning dew.
(Zeus is watching.)

I won't be one of your
Google-eyed boys
We'll take the grand tour
We'll play with all the toys.
(Where's Pan?)

And isn't it true
I'm the one you do
All those things for?
(Your knees buckle when you see me.)

I just want to be
There when the armor falls
When bully turns to coward
(When Venus comes to Mars.)
