The flicker



Spin me into a world that mean nothing to those that look for everything
Build a hope like rainbows that have priceless money that won't spend
Follow me to a place that time is free and stress is thought to be washed away
Only does the tunnel make sense to me when i see the light
Taste the world with a touch of a hands that feed me
I slowly eat ice cream that is less fine as word that taste my mind
Marry me and take time to talk to me while we eat by candle light.
