Proxy Love

Take a leaf out of my book
I am the captain of my ship
I am no slave, I’m no one’s serf
I stoop my back to no one’s whims, yeah

Your limbs protrude like minarets
Your flesh exudes a call to prayer
It beckons me through Moon and star
A wasted soul crying out mercy

Subversive (everybody)
Put me on hold
Subversive (everybody)
But I don’t know why

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
We know it’s arbitrary
But why should we care?

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
Something extraordinary
Although why should we care?

So take a leaf out of my book
I am the captain of my ship
If you wanna take a crown you don’t ask first
You seize it with a bumptious wrist

Subversive (everybody)
Put me on hold
Subversive (everybody)
But I don’t know why

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
We know it’s arbitrary
But why should we care?

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
It’s so extraordinary
When you can have your share

Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me
Whisper words tender and sleazy
I am so bad, discipline me
Stretch me out, I’ll take the whip

Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me
Whisper words tender and sleazy
I am so bad, discipline me
Stretch me out, I’ll take the whip

Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me
Whisper words tender and sleazy
I am so bad, discipline me
Stretch me out, I’ll take the whip

Hold me, tease me, squeeze me, please me
Whisper words tender and sleazy
I am so bad, discipline me
Stretch me out, I’ll take the whip

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
We know it’s arbitrary
But would should we care?

We yearn for love
That’s what we’re dreaming of
Something extraordinary
But who said life was fair?
