 this song could be about loving frenesi gates. or katje ...


 "a l m o s t  g o t h i c

  i'm working gospel time these days
  (the summer - this could be the cool part of summer)
  the sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe 
  a wise child walks right out of here
  i'm so exited 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

  the house of desire is built foursquare
  (the city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
  when she speaks it's like the slickest song i 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 bleaker street brat
  she's almost gothic but it's better than that"
