The Ramble

Track 6 from The Unseen Chorus (A Gay Musical)

Lyrics

Where are you going?

Eh um I'm just going to see a friend see you later

Moonlight through the branches shadows guide my way
Every step's a secret thrill I'm alive tonight I say
Leaves are whispering louder the city fades to black
Every shadow hides a promise there's no turning back

The Ramble's mine I'm alive tonight
Every stranger's eyes are burning bright
Every shadow feels like a kiss
I never knew freedom could feel like this
Feel like this feel like this

Branches hide the bodies footsteps echo near
I want the thrill I want the fear
Sweat drips down a hand grips tight
The darker it gets the more it feels right

I need a dick in my ass

Say it louder and they'll still come closer
Come closer

The Ramble's mine I'm alive tonight
Every stranger's touch it feels so right
Every kiss every moan I crave it fast
I need a body that will make it last
Make it last make it last

If my husband knew about this

The Ramble's mine I'm alive tonight
Every stranger's fire is burning bright
Every shadow feels like a kiss
I never knew freedom could feel like this
Feel like this feel like this
The Ramble's mine I'm lost tonight
I want them all and it feels so right

The city sleeps
But I've never felt so awake
