Night Cap
One summer evening in the realm of Fae
The minstrel passed some nectar Nyx's way
She cordially invited him to stay
His lyric flowed like liqueur to her lips
She quelled her desert thirst with frequent sips
She placed her offer at his fingertips
Taken by a kiss of Nyx
A trinket in her bag of tricks
Briefly their elixirs mix
He took her home to meet his mythic beast
The little critter had to be released
He laid a table for the bitter feast
She served an aperitif to wet his fife
He whet her appetite and strummed his strife
He ate his heart out, she licked the knife
Smitten by a smack of Nyx
The memory of her lips, he licks
That little gypsy's juju sticks, yeah
He croons the tune as he constructs the cage
The fool, he frets up on a makeshift stage
His ancient vintage finally comes of age
And he just can't contain his bacchanal rage
Libations pouring freely from his song
Quicksilver rising in his pagan prong
And far too little flux for far too long
Makes wrong seem right and right seem oh so wrong
He raised his empty glass in emphasis
His quest could be for nothing less than bliss
He took the path to her Kallisti kiss
She led his horse up to the gates of Troy
She pulled her evening shade and twirled his poi
She rocked his little world and girled his boy
Graced with but a trace of Nyx
Nails fell from his crucifix
Goddess bless the pixie chicks
No more than a pinch of Nyx
Erato gives the boy his fix
A nine to realign his six
Yet another kiss of Nyx
The court astrologer predicts
He's counting Saturn's tocks and ticks
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
