through the rising steam
I can barely see
coming from the vodka and peppermint tea
The night we met time stood still
you were wanted for murder, if looks could kill
let me buy you a drink, you said “the first round’s on me”
she ordered vodka and peppermint tea
As we left the bar, asked my name
I knew my life would never be the same
everything was new, dangerous, and free
I could feel vodka and peppermint tea
through the rising steam
I can barely see
coming from the vodka and peppermint tea
you stopped the car on the railroad tracks
you said enjoy the rush and just relax
you said it’s all about trust, you said baby trust me
on her lips I tasted (the) vodka and peppermint tea
our time was wild our days a blur
tight leather, hot wax, every growl and purr
even your safe word was allons-y
mine became vodka and peppermint tea
through the rising steam
I can barely see
coming from the vodka and peppermint tea
