about

She Has a Way

The atmospheric change within the room has rubbed off on the once-docile Performer. The man is now, failingly, attempting to be unironically sexy. His reddened eyes remain closed for the majority of the song while his hips attempt to shake to the rhythm. Not knowing what to do with his hands, their movements are almost farcically hypnotic as they dance in front of him. Some find the performance unnerving, some amusing. None find it as arousing as The Performer would have hoped.

A few of the audience are now, for better or worse, ‘coupled-up’ and this tune proves a catalyst to their courtship. This night is descending much the same as any other. A heavy smell of sin wafts through the room and engulfs all under its roof.

lyrics

She has a way
To see beyond the horizon
And show no surprise
As the sun burns her eyes

She has a way
That she straps up her boots
Shoelaces tied in a noose
In her leopard pant suit
You scream her name
She has a way

I gotta say
The way she enters a room
It’s liked she’s howled at the moon
A certain bringer of doom

I’m not okay
Her skin is perspiring
That makes my desiring
Hotter than fire
No mistake, she has a way

She seals your fate
Oh, she's fixing the game
A tyrannical reign
She's the Queen of insane

Oh, the pain
But she’s worth every bandage
She's so heavy handed
The siren has landed
Not just today, she’ll always have a way

So hard to take
The others do well
They're avoiding her spell
A certain window to hell

My heart aches
That they’ll never know
The chemical glow
That only she can help grow
You can’t escape her wicked ways

Is it pure lunacy to fall into your arms?
It's this that bothers me, an internalised alarm
Please make me happy, but treat me mean
And I won't panic, 'cos you're my queen

And when she walks
She strides with a mission
A strange disposition
With no indecision

If you get caught
She shows no forgiveness
She's nothing but business
You don’t want to witness
The fall
No, not at all

She has a way
To ensure you don’t stray
Returning day after day
To the moral decay

She has a way
She’s more thunder than lightning
Oppressive and frightening
But the rumble’s exciting
You get the shakes
She has a way
