looking past all that

that mysterious girl with the funny expression looks away from you
down into her lap, where she plays a hand rolled cigarette like a flute
you didn't know those half smile lips would end up sticking like glue
that you'd feel the pale soft skin of her chest and her breath move

nothing is what you expect
it just feels like the best
and she feels it too, ya know
but she doesn't know what to do

there's a crack under the hair she dyed to emulate mimsy and edie and mia
says that she tells you everything under there, but the truth is you have no idea
you see the hands tick and the cogs beneath turning in the hidden galleria
it makes you feel guilty but it turns you on, the little girl lost, your Cytherea

nothing is what you expect
it just feels like the best
but you better watch out, ya know
'cos she just doesn't know what to do

so just keep rolling on
what other choice do you have?
so just keep rolling on
until things get too bad

so just keep rolling on
the only choice you want to have
so just keep rolling on
right now things aren't too bad

there's an outline of a problem in the imprint her frame leaves on your bed
but all you can view is the lines that come from her smiles and the dimple instead
and the feeling that rises like the steam from her coffee maker when you open the lid
all the plans and the trips you imagine for you and her in the time still ahead

nothing is what you expect
it just feels like the best
but you better watch out, ya know
'cos she just doesn't know what to do

so just keep rolling on
