Lyrics
How could you
Let it in your house
And let it in your bed?
Between the wall in lay
Another shiv instead
So how did it taste
When you kiss it on the face?
Or when the blue eyes sail in from the north
I guess you do what you do
When you need to fill some empty space
Anything you need from me
The eight arms around you?
Another heart to pound for you
Another set of awkward lungs
To breath in the air of men
We don't pretend
A liver a lung a kidney a thumb
Lies in the heart of the be-loved
Because the best part is
You never know just what they're capable of
(The slow circling of the drain)
Sleep with the fishes!
We do what we do
To fill the empty space
What do I do
I'm running out of space!
So what do I do
When the claws dig in and drag me from this place
You'll never live to see the ocean
You'll never live to brave this sky
You'll never live to see any garden
And drag the river and comply
I guess no one really knows anyone
So clamp it like a compass
And let me know where I should be
And when it's cold and snowy
Melt the blood you froze in me
I smell it on the sheets for days
I smell it in my room
I smell it on my hands for weeks
These dirty hands all over you
Anything you need from me
The eight arms around you
Another heart to pound for you
Another set of awkward lungs
To breath up the air of men
I don't pretend
A liver a lung a kidney a thumb
Lies in some heart of some beloved
Because the best part is
Because the best part is
You can sleep with the fishes
Before I sleep with you
Drive carefully dear
And to a nest of vipers
And to my "miss know it all"
Drive carefully dear
