the chant of trilby-svengali
i am her trilby to her svengali and she is my trilby to my svengali. i
have to create them. svengali's mental. shape-riding nobody. svengali and
trilby make perfect fuck, sharing the dream of svengali and trilby
mysterious svengali as he creates electric light to see her better
trilby to svengali's edison, dolly shot in cinerama, her trilby to her
svengali, my trilby to my svengali. she nobody. svengali and trilby make
perfect fuck, sharing
mesmeric rosy nipples entering miraculous singing long white gown falling
open from her shoulders evening primrose licking her feet drinking her
urine before the guests i will kill you but my voice must be pure tongue
within, show them who is mesmerized degradation beyond degradation
degradation beyond belief her staring is uncanny, almost as if she leaves
so quickly now, almost in a feint naked, thou hast cast me into this role
naked, i am dying of love, sweet song, mesmeric one last kiss, one last
note, one touch mesmeric songster of the night entering breathing deeply
miraculous singing hands trembling in the air evening primrose licking her
feet i will kill you but my voice must be pure tongue within, show them
who is mesmerized degradation beyond degradation degradation beyond belief
applause from an audience of thousands her staring is uncanny, almost as
if please, i can live no longer like this naked, i am dying of love, sweet
song, mesmeric one last kiss, one last note, one touch
