Ninja Man

You came out of nowhere___ landed on my roof

Soundless in your crepe soled shoes___ attitude aloof

Shimmied down the drain pipe,__ balanced on the ledge__

Dark as the night sky__ keeping me on edge

(Chorus) 

You can be my ninja man, but don’t you steal my heart

I’ll need it to get over you; your vigilante follow through

You can be my ninja man, but don’t you steal my heart

Eviscerate me with your eyes,

Disembowel my laissez-faire guise

But let me have my silent nights

And__ sword fights with youuuuuu (guitar stops) My love, my ninja

You slipped in through the window, ___ me in my penoir set

Lounging on my__chaise lounge,___ I’ll never forget

You came upon me stealthily, ___ all spider arms and legs

I asked if you were hungry,___ said, “Would you like some eggs?”

You nodded through your face mask,___ and said, yes please.

I made you an omelet, ___with extra grated cheese

Made you toast and bacon, __then peeled back your hood,

I said, “Hey, wanna spend the night?”  You said, (in low voice)_“I would if I could.”

(Spoken like Johnny Cash)

“But I got some ninja doins’; ninja issues to work through__

Gotta throw me some ‘a them ninja stars, got ninja things to do___

Gotta settle some ninja business__ on the other side of town,____

But if you’re ever makin’ eggs again, I just may__ come around.”__

I said (Chorus)

(Bridge) 

A few weeks later, I got the worrrrrrrd

wasn’t told directly, I overheard

You limped up to me like a champ___

___knocked over a table lamp

Bled all over my Pucci night gown

Seems there’d been a ninja scuffle

on the wrong side of towwwn (the wrong side of tow-ow-own)

You let me clean your wounds that night

We didn’t eat eggs__ and didn’t sword fight

I rocked you gently,__ until you slept

I loved you gently,___ (guitar stops) my love my ninja

Then I whispered (chorus)

(repeat to end “My love my ninja” 2x)
