No Aphrodisiac - Horrorshow

A letter to you on a cassette

'Cause we don’t write anymore

Gotta make it up quickly

There’s people asleep on the second floor

There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Truth, beauty and a picture of you

You’ll be walking your dog in a few hours

I’ll be asleep at my brother’s house

You’re a thousand miles away

With food between your teeth

Come up for summer

I got a place near the beach

There’s room for your dog

There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Truth, beauty and a picture of you

Don’t you know that there’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Youth, truth, beauty, fame, boredom and a bottle of pills

Yo

I wrote a letter on a cassette and sent it in the mail

To give chase when your ship was setting sail

Problem is that the devil’s in the detail

I need to feel your touch, put my fingers to the brail

So I sit and wait for you to write back

Up late sippin' on an eternal nightcap

But I don’t wan' be checkin' if you’re like that

I wanna be in your space askin', «Do you like that?»

Fuck texts, DMs, and mixed messages

Crossed wires, bad signal, no reception

I think we gettin' sick from the medicine

Got me chattin' to my therapist all about

Small talk, cocaine, ecstasy, alcohol

Hangovers, takeaway, carelessness, Panadol

Asparagus, chocolate, oysters

Shit, I’ve had 'em all, lemme tell you, there’s

No aphrodisiac like loneliness

You shouldn’t leave me alone

There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Bare feet like a tom-boy and a crooked smile

Truth, youth, beauty, fame, boredom

Red hair, no hair, innocence

Instagram and a picture of you

A letter to you on a cassette

You shouldn’t leave me alone

Forty, shaved, sexy, wants to do it all day

With a gun-toting trigger-happy missy named Kinky Renée

Tired teacher, twenty-eight, seeks regular meetings

For masculine, muscular, nappy-clad, brutal breeding

While his wife rough wrestles with a puppy

All aquiver on a wine-soaked, strobe-lit

Asiatic hall of mirrors and a dash of loneliness

There’s no aphrodisiac quite like it

Said there’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Truth, beauty and a picture of you

Said there’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Truth, beauty and a picture of you
