This Aphrodite Life

It's like rose petals falling from the sky
While rainbows arch their backs in the night
Illuminating the opal in a thousand swans eyes
That's what it's like
This Aphrodite life

She’s plum pretty
Like a cavity gathers sweet
Like a lemon lingers on lips
Like a pearl nestles the sea
Precious as a fawn
Rising from its knees
She’s drops of honey
Dripping from a bonsai tree

If Marilyn Monroe took you by the hand
Blushed at your touch and asked for this dance
Led you out onto the cobblestone streets of France
That's what it's like
This Shakespeare romance

She’s Alladin’s lamp
With two wishes left to go
The grace of a pirouette
The lights of a Broadway show
Enchanting as the dolphins
In waters peppered with snow
She’s the end of the rainbow
On a chardonnay road

It's apples with sugar and Cristal champagne
Under a rain forest canopy in a Costa Rican rain
With toucans singing a Spanish refrain
That's what it's like
This hurricane flame
