Lyrics

yr millions sweetnesses
are sometimes not enough
to keep me lapping at the floodtide of desire
this is how i walk when i have given up
do you see how free the body moves ?
the bones inside the skin are loose
and i know if i could see you
that you'd be walking like this, too
marry / mary a virgin
marry / mary not-a-virgin
marry / mary someone who sold their sex to god or men
marry completely and give yourself whole-heartedly
to everything that wants you
and everything you are
i have spent time
with unspoiled birds and generous sunshine
who taught me doing nothing
and i do recall that my very best friends
were the ones who left me empty
and ready to be filled again
your million sweetnesses
are sometimes not enough
to keep me lapping at the floodtide of desire
this is how i walk when i have given up
do you see how free the body moves ?
the bones inside the skin are loose
and i know if i could see you
that you'd be walking like this, too
