| You’re a long damn way from North Carolina now
|
| What a goddamn victory I guess
|
| Swimming it up like assholes at Sina Lei
|
| The way my ancestors did
|
| And if they find me face down
|
| Dead in the chuck
|
| At least they’d know that I loved you this much
|
| And was happy I caved upon your insistence
|
| Cuz now it all means something
|
| You
|
| And me
|
| In this ageless thing
|
| And it takes and it takes
|
| And it moves and he makes us
|
| Of one mind
|
| And he takes and he takes
|
| I wish I could make it so you could see yourself
|
| Just seeing everything
|
| Whatever it’s called out there
|
| In the firmament
|
| A screed
|
| A view
|
| In an endless feed
|
| Of disquiet I never knew
|
| I had
|
| I guess
|
| But I am filled to the head
|
| Of unsayable things that I don’t
|
| Want to forget
|
| And it takes and it takes
|
| And it moves and he makes us
|
| Of one mind
|
| And he takes and he takes
|
| And it takes and it takes
|
| And it moves and he makes us
|
| Of one mind
|
| And he takes and he takes
|
| Tenterhooks
|
| Cuz the gods know that I am tender prey
|
| And heaven knows that if they balled me away
|
| Would I reach your love again?
|
| Flawless paradise
|
| And I’m raised up in a sky blue sky
|
| In a bad deed with no good alibies
|
| Will I see your love again?
|
| Will I feel your love again?
|
| I was born and survived by some cold inner space
|
| Til you called out and told me I belonged in this place
|
| And when my body was splayed out in a miracle mile
|
| «Let 'em catch me and kill me let them take me in style»
|
| You’re the only one
|
| The only one
|
| That I know in some way I’ll be thinking of
|
| When I’ve made my bed
|
| And I’ve paid my dues
|
| At least you’ll know that I loved you |
