Hurt Me |
Oh my love is that a vulture? |
Don’t tell me it’s a vulture |
Standing beside you, oh |
And do you see your own face in his eyes? |
Do you see him like I do? |
Oh |
It used to be that, when you said you believed it |
I would believe it too |
It used to be that, when you said you were leaving |
I’d want to follow you |
But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs barking, oh |
And I remember praying at the dinner table |
For you to come around |
Maybe pat me on the back |
When you’re able |
Now I’ve a dream of you with half a face |
And you take me to a rooftop and skin me |
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me |
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark |
When the shadow of the moon won’t do? |
Cause on you, the moon is but a pearl |
Stolen from your mother’s bedside |
The day you came into the world |
And still now I can hear the dogs bark, I can hear the dogs barking, oh |
And I remember praying at the dinner table |
For you to come around |
Maybe pat me on the back |
When you’re able |
Whole cities light up |
But nothing can compare to you, baby |
So I stay waiting |
Laying on the dinner table |
Waiting for you to hurt me |
Come on, Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me |
Come on down to the world |
Hurt me, come on, Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table |
And now it’s laying on the table |
Waiting for you on the table |
To carve it up and watch the spray go across the riverbed |
And sweet aromas fill the halls |
From all the bodies that came before |
And that’s the body, I swear that’s the body |
I remember, it was laying on the dinner table |
And when you came around, said you’ll be doing fine when you’re able |
Oh whole cities light up |
But nothing can compare to you, baby |
So I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table |
Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me |
Cut me, cut me, serve me |
