VERSE

Your bird gifts a bottled message
I stab it with the glass and pluck off all its feathers
Eat it for breakfast
Tears dry as I await my lunch

Last time I saw her, we were in church
I said my love to her and somebody heard
We haven't locked eyes since or said a word

My lover's voice is just like liquor
I'm certain if she used it I'd return far quicker
Tears dry as she awaits my touch

Last time I saw her, we were in church
I said my love to her and somebody heard
We haven't locked eyes since or said a word

Just read me a verse
If that's all you can do
Read me a verse
If that's all they let you
Read me the worst
Most carnal pages you can find

Just read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me the worst

My love is a testament
To the power of desire without precedent
Tears dry as I await you

Last time I saw her, we were in church
I said my love to her and somebody heard
We haven't locked eyes since or said a word

Just read me a verse
If that's all you can do
Read me a verse
If that's all they let you
Read me the worst
Most carnal pages you can find

Just read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me the worst

Surrender yourself to me
And bathe in the ecstasy
Of knowing, you’ll always be mine
Surrender yourself to me
We transcend the boundaries of the physical
And the divine

Just read me a verse
If that’s all they let you
Read me the worst
Most carnal pages you can find

Just read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me a verse
Read me the worst

Your bird gifts a bottled message
I stab it with the glass and pluck off all its feathers
Eat it for breakfast
Tears dry as I await my lunch

My lover’s voice is just like liquor
I'm certain if she used it I’d return far quicker
Tears dry as she awaits my touch
