I caught it in the face
Coming around again
I thought it was worth waiting
You're caught up in my head
Wet sides from time to time
But mostly I'm just dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry

You've come all this way
No hair out of place
You put it all on the stage
You put right in my face
But you leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry

A water well in sight
No water at my sides
I'm sucking on the well
I'm sucking 'til I'm white
But you leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry
You leave me dry

    A brilliant inversion of rock'n'rolls usual assumption of male priapism and powers of seduction. A song to cuckhold any man, and, specifically, any of the legions of rock sex gods before Polly. A song that always reminds me of the impact her early severe image, and songs, had when she first started getting press coverage.
