lyrics

I am caught in the womb of this sly machine
where she doesn't go ka-chunk
or make any unnatural sounds

where the well-oiled cogs
of an ancient guilt
spin idle but not forgotten

where she says kiss me
then go
where we laugh
ebullient jelly laughs
in the seventh hour before dawn

unquestionable champions
aching lovers
dutiful children of a God
whose creature were born for touch

so what if you're catholic
Jesus was a Jew
and I have known nuns
who would gladly put out for him

think of me like that
think of me like that
only without the nails in my wrist
or ferocious divinity

think of me like that
we can still be clean
only the temperature will change
