in an ebony sea
lies a Cherokee moon
where she was bred to breed
and make men swoon
but she's run out of men to lay
so she prowls the milky way
to make first contact tonight
with freckles like stars
on chartreuse skin
and ankle height scars
cut from within
purple eyes that penetrate
I swear they calculate
she'll make first contact tonight
I woke to a light
outside my door
I fell right to the floor
she came tommyknocking
to announce she's arrived
with the flick of a wrist
i was bound to comply
no plate is gonna save me now
didn't want to be saved anyhow
so i'll make first contact
