here's the villanelle you requested ...
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive Making every little girl is keeping you alive Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive No there's nothing wrong there's nothing wrong when it starts to dive Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive No there's nothing wrong there's nothing wrong when it starts to dive Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive You said "Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five But there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and drive I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive All you wanna do is just sit around at a bar and jive Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive Galaxy deep in space To a planet where a man can live All you wanna do is just sit around at a bar and jive I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive
