Devil in Disguise

I'm a full blown angel
Looking down from a murky sky
And if you want an angel...
I'm the devil in disguise.
I am Mother Teresa
Pulling people off lonely streets
And if you want to please her...
I'm the devil in disguise.
You want something else, man
I'd be willing to proper try
But if you want an honest man
Hey, that ain't me.

Can I have a slice?
You’re bad news, such a schmooze
In your toque blanche
Serving up a luscious treat
Come on girl, send it my way.
It’s brewing, I’m stewing
In my macrame
Waiting for a crumb to fall,
A spectre at the buffet
You know exactly what my heart is waiting for
Those coated wooden spoons
For this loving troubadour!
Can I have a slice of your cake?
I wanna eat the batter that you make
Come on baby, don’t pour it away…
Let me taste the dough on your baking tray!
Your cashews are my muse,
I wait to hear you say
“Come on honey, have some honey, nice and runny, come on honey!”
Because you know just what my mouth is waiting for
Those juicy sugar treats, the ones that I adore.
So beckon, darling, and I’ll come right next to you
The crust has moistened and the flour has risen too
I’m broiling over, and there’s something you can do
Don’t mind the kind of pastry, puff, filo or choux!
Easy is as easy does,
I’m gormandising til the treats are gone and I am stuffed,
You partake and I am covetous.
Easy is as easy does,
I’m masticating til the food has gone and I am stuffed,
You partake and I am ravenous.
Can I have a slice of your cake?

A Bridge

I could’ve smiled like anyone else, but in time can be found a light
Drinking as much as a part of yourself can make clear what was dark in the night
But your temper is high (feel the altitude)
Illuminate the sky (set the lighting tube)
You’ve reached 100 degrees and it’s time to set the tone.
I built a bridge to myself
I built a bridge for my health
I built a bridge to myself
Got in my car and my tyre was flat, looking like I won’t get to work
Call the boss he ain’t liking that, tells me off, all I do is smirk...
So I change that wheel (put the spare tyre on)
Address how I feel (can I carry on?)
You’ve reached boiling point and it’s time to take control.
Put on that new suit (wear those fancy clothes)
You’re as sweet as ripe fruit (whose mangos are those?)
You’re at the turning point, you’re finally in control.
