The way you play with me like a child.
lyrics
Goodbye, summer.
“All you know how to do is shake, shake.”
“Heal the scars from off my back
I don’t need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I’ve come home.”
“July Flame
Ashes of a secret heart
Falling in my lemonade
Unslakable thirsting in the backyard.”
“But all I’ve ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.”
“Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.”
“I won’t believe that our love’s a mystery
I won’t believe our love’s a sin
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again.”
“The stage is set
Someone’s going to do something someone else will regret
I speak in smoke signals and you answer in code
The fuse will have to run out sometime
Something here will eventually have to explode
Have to explode.”
“Great Babylon was naked, oh she stood there trembling for me,
and Bethlehem inflamed us both
like the shy one at some orgy.
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
that I had to draw aside to see
the serpent eat its tail."
