This is a repost of a lyric rewrite I did in 2007.   It is for the CPC Wonderful Wednesday challenge where the topic is Eighties music.  “Anticipation” came out in 1987.

Emasculation

I’m just now learning about the days to come
Writing on the wall says go away
Understand I’m not really with you now
I’m just chasing an impossible day.

Emasculation, emasculation
Is sealing my fate
preventing our mating

Oh how queasy and sleazy it is to be with you
Now how wrong your arms feel around me.
I thought I’d flushed those turds just late last night
When I was so dreading what a fight tonight might be.

Emasculation, emasculation
Is sealing my fate
preventing our mating

And tomorrow we should not be together
You love profit, I just know natures way
When I look into your eyes I know for sure
I’ve got to go, cause these are the bad old days.

Below are the original lyrics to “Anticipation.”

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if Im really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.

Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
But I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together
Im no prophet, I dont know natures way
So Ill try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, cause these are the good old days.
