Almost Gothic

I'm working on gospel time these days
 (Summer, the summer
 This could be the cool part of the summer)
 The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room, she's so severe
 A wise child walks right out of here
 I'm so excited I can barely cope
 I'm sizzling like an isotope
 I'm on fire, so cut me some slack
 First she's way gone, then she comes back
 She's all business, then she's ready to play
 She's almost Gothic in a natural way
 ♪
 This house of desire is built foursquare
 (City, the city
 The cleanest kitten in the city)
 When she speaks, it's like the slickest song I've ever heard
 I'm hanging on her every word
 As if I'm not already blazed enough
 She hits me with the cryptic stuff
 That's her style, to jerk me around
 First she's all feel, then she cools down
 She's pure science with a splash of black cat
 She's almost Gothic, and I like it like that
 This dark place, so thrilling and new
 It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
 Unless I'm totally wrong
 I hear her rap, and, brother, it's strong
 I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
 ♪
 But I just stand there hypnotized
 I'll just have to make it work somehow
 I'm in the amen corner now
 It's called love, I spell L-U-V
 First she's all buzz, then she's noise-free
 She's bubbling over, then there's nothing to say
 She's almost Gothic in a natural way
 She's old school, then she's, like, young
 Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
 She's almost Gothic, but it's better than that
