Just to Clear My Head Lyrics

We saw the summer moon
Spill through the clouds as red as wine
And did I leave too soon
Or was I just too far behind

My fingers on your waist
Did their work a little faster
I took a second taste
To welcome back the old disaster

Just to clear my head
Just to clear my head
Just to clear my head

No, honey, I don't mind
If you stay here a little while
You know you're much too good
I'm much too old for self-denial

I watch as you undress
Where lately she had filled my bed
With all her sweet unrest
Still I lay down with you and stay

Just to clear my head
Just to clear my head
Just to clear my head

And every afternoon
The sweeter air of solitude
Comes through to cool the wounds
Of recent pleasures you pursue

The poison on your tongue
Does it work a little faster
And even thought you're young
You welcome back the old disaster

Just to clear your head
Just to clear your head
Just to clear your head
