Swimmers

I beg your pardon
With sweet release
It's just too quiet in here

I split the silence
Oh, don't mind me
It's just a dirty little flower you hear

You can feel the motion,
honey
Darker than the ocean
darlin
Your fragile child eyes
are beggin for more

I can give you the potion,
honey
Sell you on the notion,
darlin
The quiver of your lips
is shapin the score

*
Let's dance in the womb
Tomorrow's comin soon
Give us the heartbeat
Give us the light

Stealin the virtue
Stealin the truth
The fault lies in her smile...
She licks my cancer with a sigh
With a sigh...
With a sigh...
Mmm...
*

Come hither, angel
My sweet new dream
Your daddy's dyin in here

I'll slither in you
Oh, don't mind me
It's just your pretty little flower I've cleared

You can feel the motion,
honey
Darker than the ocean
darlin
Your fragile child eyes
are screamin for more

I will give you the potion,
honey
Sold you on the notion,
darlin
The flutter of your lips
is moanin the score

*
They're dancin in the womb
Tomorrow's all too soon
Give us the heartbeat
Give us the light

Killin the virtue
Killin the truth
The fault lies in her smile...
She sucks my cancer bone dry
Bone dry...
Bone dry...
Mmm...
*

There's gotta be a million miles of me
Swimmin in your sea

But you will never see a brighter light
Rendered in the shadow of a hard night

*
The dance is in the womb
Tomorrow's come too soon
Here is the heartbeat
Here is the light

Makin the virtue
Makin the truth
The sun shines in her smile...
She fucks my cancer good bye
Good bye...
Good bye...
Good bye...
*

Don't blame me for swimmin
I don't blame you for swimmin
Your water was made for swimmin
Yeah...

You can't blame me for swimmin
I don't blame you for swimmin
Don't you fuckin blame me for swimmin
Yeah...
