The Girl Who Wasn't There

[namkcuR]

so there you were, lighting a cigarette
in the cold afterglow, after making love
to a girl who wasn't there
with a body sculptured in clay
and multi-colored hair
who only exists in the midst
of a wild wide-eyed stare

she tells tales of horny teenagers
tales of travling businessmen
she tells tales of stale marriages
tales of lonliness

but there's no reason to feel guilty or bad
there's no reason to regret the pleasure you had
no there's no reason to feel like you're alone
there's no reason to think this pleasure is only your own
for the truth is every man everywhere
has made love to the girl who wasn't there

so there you were, pouring a drink
in the awkward silence, after making love
to a girl you couldn't touch
with the face of a chameleon
and multi-colored eyes
who only exists in the midst
of a world where men can fly

she tells tales of the imprisoned
tales of the antisocial
she tells tales of single fathers
tales of lonliness

but there's no reason to feel ashamed
there's no reason to fear you might be going insane
no there's no reason to feel like you're a freak
there's no reason to think it's a secret to keep
for the truth is every man everywhere
has had his way with the girl who wasn't there

and she tells tales of lonliness
she tells tales of lonliness
she tells tales of lonliness
she tells tales of lonliness

I made love to a woman who wasn't there once.
