That Space
No longer has her name upon it

That Face
No longer haunts my dreams

That Grace
No longer stirs my soul

It has all faded
Leaving in that Place

A Trace
Of echoing hollowness

Ahhhh, the Ghost of the Taurus Past -
when all's said and done,
who doesn't have one?
so why didn't this Taurus thing last?
did you try headbutting too soon
beneath the stark light of the moon?
Did she command you 'heave to' and 'avast'?

do you think it was maybe just a fling?
a rebound style of a thing
to help you recover
from your significant ex other
and was never meant to end with a ring

I believe that there is a girl waiting
to get you out on the town and dating
she won't leave you wondering
or guessing or fumbling
there will be no more bullshit or faking

so set course with a brand new chart
and get off to a flying head start
and find that girl whose grace
and sunny smiling face
fills every space in your heart

And who is this ReallyNiceAriesPerson
This Noble Aries
Who speaks kind words,
As sweet as the Fairies

Another who has suffered
On the horns of a Taurus
One who has suffered
Just like I, Old dofaccosaurus

Who is this ReallyNiceAriesPerson
Ruthless giver of the dread headbutt
About which I could say more
But perhaps I will just keep my mouth shut
