whooping and crazed as a chimpanzee

wonderful girl quiet alone on that balcony
contented face kickstarted my heart with unbridled glee
I took those stairs whooping and crazed as a chimpanzee
in that muddle....how could I have known? (x2)

then he appeared I stopped in my tracks with a stifled groan
low in my throat I shivered chilled to my deepest bone
insides turned out broken and crushed on a grinding stone
in that muddle....how could I have known? (x2)

clumsy and stunned reeling I changed my trajectory
feelings misplaced the stricken look of a refugee
cursing my luck I spat on fate and its cruelty
in that muddle....how could I have known? (x2)

walking with you all my misgivings are overthrown
one dollar bill buys a request on a saxophone
holding you close safe in the eye of a cyclone
in that muddle....could you have known? (x2)
