gasping but somehow still alive
this is the fierce last stand of all i am
gasping, dying but somehow still alive
this is the final stand of all i am
until he drew
a swallow on my neck
and more, i will not say
he drew
a swallow, deep and blue
and soon, everyone knew
close your eyes
and think of someone you physically admire
and let me kiss you, oh
let me kiss you, oh
but don't forget the songs that made you smile
and the songs that made you cry
when you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
and said, "oh, oh, smother me mother"
she deserves all she gets
the sky became marked with stars
as an out-stretched arm slowly
disappears
i recognize that mystical air
it means: i'd like to seize your underwear
what do we get for our trouble and pain?
i don't mind
i don't mind if you forget me
having learned my lesson
i never left an impression on anyone
i once was a mess of guilt because of the flesh
it's remarkable what you can learn
once you are born, born, born
