Your Lush Amazon Heart (Billy/Donna)

And now for something else a little different.  
Billy goes Brazilian!

Lyrics: Donna Devine


Your Lush Amazon Heart

(v1)
Speaking of danger
The threat in your smile
That disturbs
In a thrilling way
And all the while
I want you in bed
Though I know I should pray

Chorus
Your lush Amazon heart
Hides a secret river
Seething with piranhas
Where I love to wade
Yet I'm still afraid
Their needle teeth
Will unthread me
And I'll perish
Where you led me
Into your lush Amazon heart

(v2)
Speaking of jungle
The wilderness eyes
That unnerve
In a chilling way
I realise
I've triggered the trap
Know I'd do well to pray

Chorus
Your lush Amazon heart
Hides a secret river
Seething with piranhas
Where I love to wade
Yet feel afraid
Those needle teeth
Will unthread me
And I'll perish
Where you led me
Into your lush Amazon heart

Brief instrumental solo

Bridge
In the treacherous landscape
Of your tangled heart
I wield my love like a machete
But poised and waiting
For the poisoned dart

Chorus
Your lush Amazon heart
Hides a secret river
Seething with piranhas
Where I love to wade
But feel afraid
Those needle teeth
Will unthread me
And I'll perish
Where you led me
Into your lush Amazon heart

I had to listen to this. I actually once got bitten by a piranha - taking him off my fishing hook. Yes they sure have sharp teeth. Love the pan flutes and percussion! Really like this a lot. Wonderful.

This is interesting,really different,it reminds me of steely dan in parts,their jazzier stuff,but still remains original,actually I checked out Donna's site & there is a wealth of good sounds there,pat yourselves on the back.

Chesook and Captain Fantastic, thank you for the listen. 
Glad you like this somewhat unusual arrangement. 

Chesook, I'll bet not many people can claim to have been bitten by a piranha!
