My perfect plan of pleasure was so bold on that Spring nite My heart was hot with propension towards this new awakening season So warm and wet with inner fear and rapture My pleasure of entanglement was like new vines at night Alone again, I trod in past memories of mirrors, and ponder why for number eight was not. Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? A drop of fresh Spring rain would roll down from your nakedness To scent that lofty fever that burns within That small world of longing, desperation, fear, rapture The game we play falls upon devil ears Alone again, I trod in past memories of mirrors, and ponder why for number eight was not. Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? As fantasies spring forth and mount to storm fury They turn to winter calm at the end. Alone now in another timespan I lay with private thoughts On a bed of moist spring grass I am clean before the sun, Enslaved with control, warm wind scenting the air Sunlight sparkles tears in eyes so deep and clear. Alone again, I trod in past memories of mirrors, and ponder why for number eight was not. Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear? Oh, Anna, why didn't you appear?

Couples parking in the middle of the night Leaning in close, holding each other tight Barking commands to carry out his plans Using block letters so he can understand And the dogs instruct him what to do To quiet them he hunts for you Hidden death will strengthen him Guilt free as he lives his sin This was a summer to remember How can anyone not remember? Their hair color's changed just to be safe Hope that it will help them to escape The fate of the rest of the block Just stay home and keep your doors locked And the dogs instruct him what to do To quiet them he hunts for you Hidden death will strengthen him Guilt free as he lives his sin This was a summer to remember How can anyone not remember?
