Sweet in small doses (Brunt / Van Reenen)

In a small dark bar in the heart of town
I drank a bad day down
As it drowned, chapter and verse
you walked in to make things worse

Most rely on looks or pose
booze or wealth or all of those
but much more dangerous than grace
is a beautiful mind in a godforsaken place

Grab hand, don’t follow
Lead, do not get lost
Only wallow in that swallow
if it’s worth the bloody cost

Your being blows my brain
Fire and ice are your domain
Dragons be below the roses
But you’re sweet in small doses

You take a pass on all
Won’t allow yourself to fall
Will not lead but have the ball
And then she comes to call

I’m against the crime of marriage
I would rather love, you see
Free the horse from friggin’ carriage
Be the best one both can be, but

Grab hand, don’t follow
Lead, do not get lost
Wrench the summer from that swallow
it is worth the bloody cost

Your being blows my brain
Fire and ice are your domain
Dragons be below the roses
But you’re sweet in small doses

Widespread wildfires, drowning shores
will not get the drop on you
And sliding hillsides, famines, wars
will not muffle my I do

Your being blows my brain
Fire and ice are your domain
Dragons be below the roses
But you’re sweet in small doses

Your being blows my brain
Fire and ice are your domain
Dragons be below the roses
But you’re sweet in small doses
