Wax-work Theme U (Ursula) - 06-20-05

Yeah, they're really flying onto the net now... I'll try to do the rest of the themes a little quicker. Actually, I wrote this about six months ago, and I recorded it, but I didn't like the recording. The voice I did was silly sounding, and the instruments were not good choices, and, overall, it was too muddy. So, I redid the whole thing this week. Same song, all different instruments and singing. I like the lyrics to this one a lot, and it gets caught in my head constantly. Seriously, every few days, I am singing the "alas/class/glass" part to myself. Fun stuff.

*Remastered 08-04-08 - In addition, I also remastered that original version, the one I scrapped. Here it is as a bonus!
Wax-work Theme U (Alternate Mix)

Lyrics:
You hit me with a door
outside the lecture hall
Weak in the knees, I really
couldn't help but fall
From the first,
You caught me in your curse,
I resisted but Ursula, it was too late,
you had me caught your thrall

You kissed me once,
and I told you that I want this
You kissed me twice,
and I promptly fell unconscious
Though I had passed out
I was really past doubt
I love you, Ursula, you haunt me
Why do you want me?

"She's beautiful," was the
last thing I though, before
You smashed me in the face
with that swinging glass door
As it cracks
I can't help but relax
I can hear my heart waxing so poetic
as I'm tumbling to the floor

I came around
gently woken from my sleeping
You'd come around
to my side and you were weeping
Though I had passed out
I was really past doubt
I love you, Ursula, you haunt me
Why do you want me?

Your raven hair
Is tucked behind your ears
And curls out right on cue
It isn't fair
That these black spots appear
To clutter up my view
I feel your hands upon my neck
The soft caressing as you check
My pulse and put pressure on my wounds

My heart is pounding
just having you by my side
Funny how love is born
when two strangers collide
But alas!
Now I'm missing my class
As you're pulling the glass out of my chest
I feel a tingling deep inside

What can I do,
faced with such a tough decision?
There's two of you...
or is that just double vision?
Though I had passed out
I was really past doubt
I love you, Ursula, you haunt me
Why do you want me?
Though I was past doubt
I was really passed out
I love you, Ursula, you haunt me
Why do you want me?
Though I've now passed on
I will not be passed on
I love you, Ursula, I want you
Don't make me haunt you
