i deserve
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 4.16.99

reach out and touch/ someone else/ someone new/ someone honest/ someone true/ watch me draw back from your fingers like fire on the line in our sand// reach out and sink/ your claws in/ your jaws in/ your all in/ watch me fall in/ watch me teeter on the brink of destruction it is our game// tattered/ shattered/ i've run out of words/ you sucked me dry/ you're a different person now/ for better or for worse/ what i deserve/ // / dish out more than/ you can take/ you can break/ can you fake it/ can you wake up/ and catch me staring into the deep blue midnight brighter than the sunset// tattered/ shattered/ i've run out of words/ you sucked me dry/ you're a different person now/ for better or for worse/ what i deserve/ // / reach out and turn/ the light off/ the night off/ won't you kiss off/ won't you get off-stage/ i watch you acting like a child can tell when it's over/ the music stops//
