lyrics

Come on over for a piece of me I taste like honey that's a little spicy
Is that your natural colour are you a doll
Let me put my fingers deep into your skull
Make me yours make me true purify me by the heat in you
By the heat in you

Mercury my tongue is tied loosen these chains to the world outside
Let me listen to the music here
It ripples undulates around my sphere
When I remember his thorny thigh all those phantom muscles start to groan and sigh we made magic underneath the moon all the gods were watching and humming this tune
Oooh

Hanging from the Tree of Life like fruit that's tender firm and ripe
All this blood rushing to my head
Is cooking up dreams better left unsaid

I'm wanting you to answer me
From out there from in here

On a desert island an orchid blooms
With no one to inhale it or admire its hue
Does it have a purpose in spite of itself
It lives on as it must not as something
Not as something else

Freedom blows upon the wind
Feel the kite pulling from my hand
The day's descending and this song is ending
And I must go now and make my bed
