LILT: Feuer & Wasser 3.0

Her stroke's beauty to behold
It lets me see into her soul
What to hope for, what to fear
How she looks from the rear
She exudes enormous heat
Which explodes and then retreats

Fire and water won't become one
There's no fusion, they won't succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned

Wet skin's beauty to behold
It vows to swallow and enfold
As her long legs move apart
The darkest cavern of her heart
Reveals to me her shadowed fire
A black abyss for my desire

She glides by me without a glance
I'm her shadow, without a chance
I have no hope left and should have none, 'cause

Fire and water won't become one
There's no fusion, they won't succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned

Her strokes cause waves that surge right through me
Yet every move from her eschews me
I reach for her with cold wet hands
And she will forever elude me
You see

Fire and water can never be one
There's no fusion, they cannot succumb
I have to shiver and seethe alone
And in the water I'm burned
In water I'm burned

I've already posted this, but Feuer Und Wasser just hit version three status in my head, so it's going in the probably finished pile, and that warrants a re-post.

As as aside, is this song an oblique reference to Honecker's 1987 speech?

"...socialism and capitalism are as incompatible as fire and water..."
