Only You Can Touch Me
©Jerry Axson

It runs up the hill to come tumbling back,
picking up steam like a heart attack,
it shoots out fire and it spits out sparks,
all together beautiful as it falls apart,
and I don’t want to touch it,
no, I can’t fix this mess,
it’s reckless and mindless,
a disaster at best,
you can call it as you see it,
you can take it as it comes,
some retro voodoo rhythm,
keeps me pounding on these drums,

And only you can touch me…
only you get through…
no matter what I say…
no matter what I do…
and only you can touch me…
you’re so different from the rest…
with my back against the wall…
and my hand over my chest…

It hands me bitter poison,
in the shape of candy hearts,
as I swallow down your treachery –
I’m resolved to play my part,
you’ll never see the train –
when the light is in your eyes,
it comes crashing down on you -
while you’re perfectly surprised,
