Stay by me, stay by me
|
You are the one, my only true love
|
|
The butcher bird makes it's noise
|
And asks you to agree
|
With it's brutal nesting habits
|
And it's pointless savagery
|
Now, the nightingale sings to you
|
And raises up the ante
|
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
|
And the other down your panties
|
|
Everything is falling, dear
|
Everything is wrong
|
It's just history repeating itself
|
And babe, you turn me on
|
|
Like a light bulb
|
Like a song
|
|
You race naked through the wilderness
|
You torment the birds and the bees
|
You leapt into the abyss, but find
|
It only goes up to your knees
|
I move stealthily from tree to tree
|
I shadow you for hours
|
I make like I'm a little deer
|
Grazing on the flowers
|
|
Everything is collapsing, dear
|
All moral sense has gone
|
It's just history repeating itself
|
And babe, you turn me on
|
|
Like an idea
|
Like an Atom bomb
|
|
We stand awed inside a clearing
|
We do not make a sound
|
The crimson snow falls all about
|
Carpeting the ground
|
|
Everything is falling, dear
|
All rhyme and reason gone
|
It's just history repeating itself
|
And, babe, you turn me on
|
|
Like an idea
|
Like an Atom bomb
|
