This Time

This time I'll take you on
And shatter your own little world
This time I'll wipe my feet
On towels lining floors

This time I'll take you down
And rock the capital square
This time I'll tie your shoes
Into knots and watch you stumble

This time I'll shout right back
And you'll cry and wish you hadn't
This time I'll hold the door
For those who have held mine

This time I'll argue mine
And I'll suck you into life
This time I'll pull you down
From the world that's giving you crowns

This time I'll lie to you
And give you the resulting mire
This time I'll cook your tea
With your special magical fire

This time I'll snap your wand
Into rulers and wooden frowns
This time I'll throw your crowns
Into puddles that are shallow and brown
