Lyrics

DODECAHEDRON
©2012 jeff rasuchl

We started out insync
in a straightline
side by side and parralell
the same plane
the same time
and it was fine
but then you veered off
on some tangent
and wrapped around till you were
perpendicular
and I was lost
I couldn't figure out
the particular thing that I'd done
to cause you to be so obtuse
but yet, you were still so
damn a cute
and I was wrapped up in the many
sides to you
like some kid of

Dodecahedron
and that's just a shape that I
can't get my head around
so many sides to you
and what you do like a
Dodecahedron

Then you laughed
and spun your web
and danced around
making shapes so complex
'till I was vexed
and at your mercey
spellbound
and you thought it was funny
I couldn't figure out
the formula
the mass the area
the way out of your

Dodecahedron
and that's just some kind of trap that I
can't get my head around
There's so many facets
so many faces in the maze of your
Dodecahedron

Well 2 faced is ten faces too few
to try to define
the multiplicity that is you
Cybil had eight personalities
and that's four less
at a minimum
then what I've seen in you
Your heart of gold
is pyrite
Your ruby lips they're blood red
There's a whirlpool in the ocean of your eyes
that pulls me down
sucks me in
suffocates me in some kind of thing
like a
Dodecahedron

You think you were so smart
with your degrees
your phd's
in physics
philosophy and biology
that a simple man could never understand
or see through
compute the angles
solve the puzzle of your

Dodecahedron
but you were wrong
I see the game
I see your face
I breakaway
I leave you and your fancy words
and your thing that you call a
Dodecahedron

Chose this genre to review because I, myself, have been considering doing some spoken word. I am glad this one came up in the queue, so imaginative! The vocal has dynamics, which are often missing in this genre. Love the very gradual "build" throughout the composition. The accompaniment is a perfect match for the vocal content. Slightly spooky feel is an attention-grabber.

HA HA!---pretty cool---i like it a lot!--thanxs--joe---LOU REED might have liked this!
