The Dog

She wanders alone through the night A child with eyes burning bright She extends her arms for an embrace, a tiny smile Her ruby lips on her doll-like face The danger's a mystery here As she invites you to hold her near Her mirrored image could not be linked to A woman's mind so sharp and so distinct Like a swimmer in a secret sea Undecayed for all eternity Claudia Better stay away from Claudia The silkiness of her lips As she bends low to kiss A tiny seductress in ringlets and pearls you reel In madness as the whole world about you whirls Like the tinkle of a small silver bell Her voice will put you under her spell A crushed crysanthemum in her hand a beautiful doll of death She'll take your dying breath Like a swimmer in a secret sea Undecayed for all eternity Claudia Better stay away from Claudia Like a swimmer in a secret sea Undecayed for all eternity Claudia Better stay away from Claudia
