lyrics

Said your name was Crystal Illusion
You saw my confusion
Then reached in your pants
And your license settled the matter
Conceptions were shattered
From casually glancing your way
I grew reflective

Now I see the jewels of the sea
Lighting my way as I swing to your star
I can hold a sense of reason
As long as I know that we'll stay as we are

Pleased to meet you, Crystal Illusion
I joked that you probably had stories to tell
Not the most perceptive conclusion
but I rather liked you
And I couldn't part with my words
But you were receptive

Then I saw the light crack the door
As we tumbled over and rolled back again
That was only but the beginning
Now endlessly turning till we reach the end

Now I see the jewels of the sea
Lighting my way as I swing to your star
I can hold a sense of reason
As long as I know that we'll stay as we are

I can say that Crystal Illusion
Was never transparent
Despite what they say
On the day that I was to wed her
She gave me a letter
That told me what she couldn't say
It was expected.
