Chapter 28

SV27

"11. The Sting--Farrell and Farrell"

The opening notes told her in no uncertain terms that the situation "Gravity" described had become dire. Presumably, the lyrics would flesh that out.

Like a vision who knows / Everything it takes to make you trip and fall / Got a look in her eyes / Tempts you to extend your boundaries after all / Enticingly weaves her intrigue / She lures you in / So much for the wages of sin / When she's got you where she wants you

She stings / Did you forget what it means? / She set you up for the sting / 'Cause things are not what they seem

She's a queen of disguise / Able to appear in infinite pleasing forms / Like an angel of light / Leads you into darkness / Keeping you misinformed / So cunningly preys on your mind 'til passions rule / So much for the counsel of fools / Pay the price for the pleasure

She stings...

Suspicion confirmed. The seed had been planted and the corruption had begun. A sweet young mind, injected with the venom of "critical consciousness", had begun to curl in on itself and go sour.
