Hear me, milady
I stand here on my pedestal
To plead from you an answer
An answer for the underdog
An answer for the panic'd saint
By midweek last, I loved you
Though bedraggled hearts were holster'd
And soon propelled to sketch
Your name in limestone rugged
And now I have backfired
Recoil'd from my decadence
Shall I, a Hamlet, a sissy, say
"Get thee to a nunnery"
Or a Romeo, take thee as my Juliet
My Guinevere, my Queen
But the sanitation of my heart
Will clean from me confusion
I've never been a smokechaser
Never had to spoon or swoon
Milady, hear me
Hear me, milady
I stand here on my pedestal
To plead from you an answer
An answer for the underdog
An answer for the panic'd saint
And you, milady, answer me
Will you be my lady?
