about

My second Song-of-the-Week in 2016 was for Wile E. Coyote. This was written at the tail end of the year, about another cartoon friend. (As always, it's also about a whole lot more.)

lyrics

You've got secrets
I don't ask
the things I know about you
are enough to last
last me forever
'til the next world comes
you're a book I savor
you're chocolate on my tongue

Natasha Fatale
Natasha Fatale
How I try to justify my rationale
that you'll come in from the cold
to have and to hold
to have and to hold

That guy you're seeing
he's no good for you
he's in with some bad actors
and I know you must be, too
but the way I sleep
when I'm holding you
the sleep of the just
if it just were true

CHORUS

You're being followed
You know that
a tall one and a short one
It could almost make me laugh
but to see you in such danger
from without and within
You don't know how close I am
to giving in

Natasha Fatale
Natasha Fatale
when I finally sing The Internationale
we'll come in from the cold
to have and to hold
to have and to hold
to have and to hold
