lyrics

Now come fertile flower, sour soul, sweet body
I'm not your lover, though I lie in your sheets
Our touch may not know honesty
But it's a truth true enough to believe

So turn with the motions for a cure or disease
We adorate the poison to endure the poisoning
You would stay if I would just leave
The birds, the bees, they make each other weak
For the weekend

I know this fear defeats you
So hold fast for godspeed
Pray it don't mistreat you
Love is not like sanity
Some do see it's so cheap that it's free

No ties, no strings, just an appetite
A mutual understatement, but if you want that, well alright
Until you or I fall out of line
Arrives the night to justify demise
So can I get a rise dear?

There's freedom or there's shelter
We can't have everything
Love doesn't count the hour
And there's a clock ticking
Unveiling a masterpiece of absences
Unveiling a masterpiece of bad timing

I know this fear defeats you
But hold fast for godspeed
Pray it don't mistreat you
Love is not like sanity
Neither's its' grief, neither's its' relief, neither are we
