You’re a long damn way from North Carolina now
What a g#dd#mn victory I guess
Swimming it up like #ssh#l#s 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
