lyrics

I see myself as the father
and as the son of my own self.
Although I wish it weren’t true
I’m coming home to you.
Oh no, my love, do not let me grow
too weak to take my life.
If everyone would just start a war
wouldn’t everything be fine?

And I haul myself
down to The River Lethe.
You take hand and you say in sighs
that you thank me for my death.

And then I hold you.
And you hold me.
I can hear the future calling
from a star above the sea.

And tell me, what was I to do?
As if every thought wasn’t a thought of you.
It’s hard to write a love song
living in New York.
And I’ve worked hard for my despair.
I put my future in a body-bag.
And I hurried into sleep to dream
to sodomize the moon.

And I fall before you
off the bow.
I recall to you your beauty
with a demon in my mouth.

And then I hold you.
And you hold me.
I can hear the future calling
from a star above the sea.

I cut my hair with a broken jaw.
I set an angel’s wing on fire.
Can I ask you not to think of me
until after I have gone?
And only now I’ve spent a night in jail
after all that I have done.
I’d never recommend myself
feeling like a group of gods.

And I find myself
at the bottom of a rain.
And the butcher’s daughter with the bottom,
she sold a stripper-pole to me.

And then I hold you.
And you hold me.
I can hear the future calling
from a star above the sea.
