Rubicon lyrics

I lay down beside you : I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid,
and I come in laughing play ----
but, maybe, to be saved.

Peer through the backcloth : I am a character in the play,
the words I slur are pre-ordained ----
we know them anyway.

Don`t change your mind, don`t be a fickle friend;
don`t change your mind, don`t pretend
to something false.

Open the toy-box : you are Pandora, I am the World.
If you cross the stream, you never can return;
If you stay, you`ll surely burn.

Don`t change your mind, don`t come all orchid eyes;
don`t change your mind, don`t disguise the fear
you feel :
it`s real, and you must
guard your castle well, for I am the lone wolf,
and the boar at bay -----
grant me your Pax, you know we only live today,
and on, and on, and into :
`so Long` -- it takes so long to drown;
it takes so very long to choke on the taste you`d spurned.
If you cross the stream you never can return;
If you stay you`ll surely burn
