Art Of Distance

You get the call on the message machine
Its 2 amit better be important
Her powers out, its a sleep-walk cross town
Rains coming down, shes got candlelight and blankets
Is this an act between friends?
One step forward, two steps back again
If you knew the art of distance
Would youlay in your bed
Or take a cab across town?
You know its raining right now
You crave her skin, well
You crave its resistance
When you wake up in the morning
And shes asking for time
You give in
Shes the queen of light and candles
You give in, you always were a sucker
For a scandal
You ring her bell
She buzzes you in
Brush off the rain
You give her the umbrella
When she comes to you
Wrapped in her sheets
Is she beautiful?
How you gonna tell her?
When the touch begins
You cradle her face
Is this the betrayal of a friend?
