St. Valentine’s Day
Her voice calls out,
echoes in the darkness. A twisted
laugh screaming
down the hall
out the street
and I’m surrounded
by funhouse mirrors.
but I know that laugh
recognize the perfume
She might act real pretty
w/ the right jewelry too
but inside lurks the demon,
& man you best
believe, it stalks me
in the city. Sherri.
Sherri.
My ol’ darling
queen of the night.
Sherri. Oh, Sherri, baby
I know, like I know
like I know you’re there
Music and Lyrics by Ren Michael
tonight I fly
but I’m feeling numb
my eyes are open wide
I can hardly see
I wonder why tonight
as I walk these streets
though your miles behind,
I feel you loomin’ over me
we were kids, I know
when I saw you last
I knew right then and there
I’d never see you again
so tell me how then,
with every fortune I come across
does it so easily
slip right through my hands
Oh Sherri, you’re the evil kind
I heard about you in a dream long before
How you’d curse young men and poison their feeble minds
The moment they took one step outside your door
I’m just a brown-eyed boy
from Louisiana town
touch was all I wanted,
love was all I prized
though I hope that it’s all masked
in some strange disguise
baby you are proof
love has a dark, dark side
Oh Sherri, you’re the evil kind
I heard about you in a dream I had before
How you’d curse young men and poison their feeble minds
The moment they took one step outside your door
