Mister Cotton

Let you in, block it out.

Come on give me something I can laugh about

Wish I may, wish I might.

Can I meet you at the carnival again tonight?

So come with me, and turn the key

Temptation’s chains unwind down the rabbit hole

Where Mister Cotton hides.

Catch a dream floating by.

Sailing on the moonlight ‘neath the champagne sky.

Morning’s end; evening’s glow. 

Fading where the graying hands of time turn slow.

Forget me there where I won’t care

And nothing can go wrong while I’m nodding off

In Mister Cotton’s arms.

As the darkness drains the dawn

Pretty Piper play your song just to keep me sane.

‘Cause my tolerance is building and I can’t explain

Why I feel so bad when you feel so good.

I can’t pass you up although I know I should.

The wagon’s docked but I can’t stop

Like a little kid locked in a candy shop

One’s not enough and Mister Cotton knows

Where it always hurts the most,

Walking blind on Worry Row,

Haunted by the blackest crows perched upon a garden post.

My sweet escape please come and paint your rainbow in my mind. 

Poison apple of my eye dilate me one more time. All right, yeah, 

Mister Cotton come and make me smile

Like a Christmas morning child with a 10-foot present pile. 

Is your whimsy worth my while? Or am I just in denial?
