I got it now
Introduced to love, the spectacle of esoteric hysteria
Grows tangled like wisteria,
Not to mention heavenly but delirious
It's simple, and it's ruthless, and I'll tell you what the truth is
I found her and she found me,
Now she's my sickness and my remedy
Give us the love, we want the love
Unconditional with no pretext
With love and sex to feed us we're perfect
With love and sex to feed us, and every breath between us
Picture myself with a cape and a crown
Keeps me up when I'm down
Thinking about the first time we kissed in the hallway
And collapsed to the ground
Traces of you they sprinkle onto me like snow, and they go
Resounding, rebounding through my ears, they echo
Give us the love , we want the love,
Ain't nothng broken, ain't nothing wrong
With love and sex to feed us we're perfect
With love and sex to feed us, and every breath between us
Please won't you give your sweet to me
Miss atomic fireball, when you give yourself to me,
It's when I want you most of all
I got it
Yea, jump back, shake yourself
And then you go where nobody knows ya
Then you go where nobody knows ya
Feathers let you float across the sky
As pyramids come falling from your eyes
What will become of God above who sent me
I search my soul for faith and find it's empty
Sitting in my bed with some ashes on my forehead
Reading up the papers, got the headline spice that hollers
Wrapping the sweat around the ring around the collar
Father Porter got a brand new vice
Televangelists teaching in textbooks
They're teaching the good book, but I'm taking a good look
At all the words that they pour out the mouth
of the pope on a rope
Don't joke about the soap in the mouth
Cause it's you who tried to handle my soul
Asking me if I think there's a hell, I said hell no
There might be heaven, but if I tried to get in
I'd be all sweating cause everything
that makes me happy is a sin
Get up and let me get in
Boom, it all started with a boom-boom
Gobbled up the two of us, yeah, we were consumed
Big bang, we both knew it was a new thing,
We didn't know that we were doomed
What you bring to me,
Your pleasurre was a treasure
when your lips would sing for me
What you said floated in my head
When we were rubbing bellies
By the banks of the river bed
We were so fucking close to it
Nothing left baby now but the ghost of it
Sweet sugar pie, you always got me high
Thought we'd make a life, at least we'd try
Drunk you like
absinthe, only to find me
Dropping bread crumbs to find my way around your labyrinth
Don't cry, we stay dry on the isthmus
Giving each other love like every day was Christmas
We could rest in it, we could nest in it,
The love was solid cause nothing ever tested it
And I remember you asking:
What would happen if I died,
What would happen I we tried
To have kids and we were not ready
What would happen to my world
If you left me for a girl
--If temptation wasn't there already
What would happen to you--
Well, what would happen to me
I was sick with love and you were sick of me
You were thinking of how this 'us' was too much
I was more concerned with the next time I could touch you
Ageless like angels and faceless like strangers
We mass together in this mass of anger
It's the truth we found in our youth
You better let it in
We were young, we were prudish
We were dumb, but in our foolish way
We were dreaming dreams,
And the dreams were as pure as sin
We were dreaming pure as sin
Dreaming pure as sin,
I was jumbled in my head, when I wake up
I find I'm forgiven
We were dreaming pure as sin
Dreaming pure as sin,
I was crumpled in my bed,
But when I wake up I find I'm forgiven
I find I'm forgiven
Armies of swamis turned seventeen,
Wrapped up in this envious green
It's the truth we found in our youth
You better let it in
We were happy to be rajas
With electric guitars in garages
These compulsions fed our convulsions
When we would begin
Only you can say if you're the one I'm spposed to save
Only you can say if you're the flesh I'm supposed to crave
I keep falling for you
Eyes in, eyes out, what's this about
All these colors in constant competition
Eyes down, eyes up, til I wise up
The pain it comes to its natural end
There's a midnight flower down at 6th Street and Mission
Only you can say, widow to the world
Left your life for the living
Only you can say, we're all haunted
By the choices we made or were given
Eyes in, eyes out, what's this about
Shiveled down to a victim of addiction
Eyes down, eyes up, til I wise up
The pain it comes to its natural end
Only you can say if you're the one I'm supposed to save
Only you can say, after you pissed on your mother's grave
I keep dying for you
I've got a brand new religion
Look at me, just the other day
I was trapped between towers on a bridge of saints
Out of place, not a trace
Of the things that I cling to, to
make me feel safe
He came 5,000 miles just to open his eyes
You know he's all right,
The kid he thinks he's invincible
You know he's all right,
The kid he thinks he's impenetrable
You know he's all right,
The kid he thinks he's bulletproof
You know he's all right
He got the bomb, got the bulletproof,
Got the jet-propulsion pack,
Make him blast through the roof
Spies the sky from the mountain-top
Now he's clamped on his crampons
And headed on up
He came 5,000 miles just to open his eyes
Out west, to the new population
The beast from the east released this new creation
Those resistant to change can listen
To the strange immolation of sense for sensation
He came 5,000 miles just to open his eyes
So if you come round, and I see you came round
Well sucker, come down
I'm not your faith-healer, I'm not your dealer
You think you're sick, you need the quick fix
You squirm like the worm that burns
In the shot of tequila
Well, I can't help it,
Jitterbug on up to a bully pulpit
And if you can't listen,
Just feel the words as said on a bed of velvet
I give you what you want, this love, love, love
You want a notion, we'll here's a thesis
You want to steal my magic potion
Like it's amniosenisis
You think you're Midas, you thought you'd try this,
To turn this shit into gold,
But find you're hip-deep in feces
So if you come round, and I see you came round
Well sucker, come down
I give you what you want, this love, love, love
It's the science of compliance,
I feed you something to build your reliance
Don't say nothing, just stand on by
Just sit there and don't break your silence
And I'll feed you love
If you can't understand it
It's cause it only makes sense to me
If I cut my throat open
It's cause it only makes sens to bleed
To prove that I'm human
Yeah, to make you believe
It ain't so hard top vote now
In fact, it only makes sense to need me
If I was your man...
Yeah, pull the switch and slide the door open...
I've got the rosy-red blush
Like the cheek on the nectarine
And I'll tuck in your children
With the touch of the Nazarene
Stop the war of the nations
Like the Versailles Treaty
Don't kid yourself chump
You know that you need to need me
