You're My Doll and My Diamond

Temptress, you go by, passing by me
Swirling like a ghost, like a dream I've been fighting
Clouds are in your hair and a tower over there
Was erected for the show to see you dancing, fair

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil at the back door; you're my wishing well
Sultry like the starlight for wishers who've been blessed
I have spilled my sins before you all of them confessed

Writhing in the lamp lights and the ghosts all know your name
Tell them to keep quiet for the secrets are our game
My thoughts are all a mess
My effervescent holiness 
Your hair is in the clouds and I'm swirling 'round

Temptress, you go by, leading my eye, you see
Swirling like a ghost, a daydream I've been seeking
Clouds are in your hair and that tower over there
Startles all the sky, have a care, so sweet, so fair

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil at the front door; you're my wishing well
Sultry like the moonlight for lovers who've caressed
I have spilled my sins before you all of them confessed

Singing to the street lights and the ghosts all know your name
I hope they keep quiet, keep this secret our little game
My thoughts are all a mess
My effervescent holiness
Your hair is in the clouds and I'm swirling 'round
Bubbling over, bursting, higher, higher

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil in the darkness; you're my wishing well
Sweetest, kissed by starlight; my soul has been possessed 
I have left my sins before you all of them confessed
Beneath your starlit eyes I have been undressed
