"Obsession" stills in black and white
Frozen bliss in window light
You gazed too long into her eyes
It dawned on you, to your surprise
A mortal woman met your stare
Your goddess was no longer there
Wrenched from your diaphanous dream
Booze and blood, a primal scream
An ancient need no one can fill
You can't escape the bitter chill
Reality – once more it's back
A brutal close-up … fade to black.
