lyrics

NO STRAY BULLS

you have used your body long
looked into its eyes maybe for too long
pulled the bull away from the crowd
turned the tap on and lay on the ground
you're an erogenous bump in the largeness of sound

and your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name

and your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind

my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my love
my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my love

at the bottom of the ocean but not drowned
men who die childless in their own arms
i want to rip the meaning right out of what i know, what i know from its throat
so protected from the fire
lame behind a moat

lips words and senses sensation and sentences
breathing and feeling
and soul
lips words and systems
sensation and sentences
breathing
we come from this noise

you have used your body long
looked into its eyes maybe for too long
pulled the bull away from the crowd
turned the tap on and lay on the ground
you're an erogenous bump in the largeness of sound

and your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name hurts your name

and your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mind knows your mine

my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my love
my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my lover my love

my Lover
I love Her
I love Him
