lyrics

I’m a house of bones
Skin stretched over walls
A mirror in my mouth

Let your golden rays
Hit my frozen face
A cataract of sound

Let your honey drip
From your fingertips
O let me have your lips

Of gold of gold
Of gold of gold
Of w h i s p e r i n g
The lips the mouth
The lips The mouth The words

My gaze spills your blood through the body, through the body
Each drop makes a coral in the sea
My skin was forged out of seaweed, out of the seaweed
And out of spit -
And out of spit my children grow
Out of spit my children grow
Churning in my mouth
In my mouth

Let your golden rays
Let your golden rays
Hit my frozen face
Hit my frozen face
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound

Same reason I love Soft Cells Non-stop Erotic Cabaret. The album cover makes me laugh. The bananas. The coming of adulthood and ending of youth. The realization that New York is not my home, just like Jim Croce. It speaks to the anger one may realize after the illusion of marketing clears and the beginning of the search for self versus other. At least that's what happens in my head while listening to it. jvthree
