'Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men
Five or ten dollars, then I'd collect from all those yes-men
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men
Darling, can't you see?
'Twas for charity
Though those lips have made slips, it was never really serious
Who'd have thought, I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious?
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been
Where've I been all these years?
A Listen you, tell me do
How long has this
How long has this been goin' on?
What a kick, how I buzz
Boy you click
Boy you click as no one does
Here me sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?
Dear when in your arms I creep
That devine rendezvous
Don't wake me if I'm asleep
Let me dream it's true
Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has
How long has this been goin' on?
Dear when in your arms I creep
Ooh That devine rendezvous
Don't wake me if I'm asleep
Let me dream, let me dream that it's true
Kiss me twice (once), kiss me twice then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four
What a break, for Heaven's sake
How long has
How long has this been goin' on?
Yea, how long has this been going on?
Tell me, tell me how long has this been going on?
Tell me how long, how long has this been going on?
Oh yea how long has this been going on?
Woo ooh how long has this been going on?
Oh tell me, tell me, how long, how long
Has this been going on?
Tell me how long, how long, how long
How long, how long, how long
Ooh tell me, tell me, how long
Mmm tell me

This is like an SR71, ripping along at supersonic speed, seemingly calm on the outside, but internally whirring at incredible speed. Sarah on the outside, Peterson propelling things. It's a remarkable recording.11 years ago
