Like a scene in science fiction
where the creature will not die.
I've been using perfect diction,
even though I'm terrified.
I see you smiling through me,
can you find a place to hide?
I think I might hear someone
coming out of the corner of my eye.

I've been meaning to look into your eyes.
I've seen them a half a million times.
How have I not seen they might be strange?
I've been meaning to look behind your smile.
I've seen it a half a million times.
So how have I not noticed that you have fangs?

I just had the strangest vision:
The apartment was on fire.
You were standing in the kitchen,
and you were covered in cherry pie.
Well you know I see with my eye drawn back,
so you can't tell me that I'm just upset. (?)
Aww, I think I'm gonna get sick.

I've been meaning to look into your eyes.
I've seen them a half a million times.
How have I not seen they might be strange?
I've been meaning to look behind your smile.
I've seen it a half a million times.
So how have I not noticed that you have fangs?

Now they're upon me at my door (?),
and I'm laying on the floor,
just trying to catch my breath.
If you'd just give me a minute.
No, I don't need no other friend,
so I will not let you in
And if you don't go away,
then I'm jumping out the window.
