too hot, on the bed that night
shirts off, in the phantom light
of the city, in this hardened land
skin on skin, under the ceiling fan
shirts off, in the phantom light
of the city, in this hardened land
skin on skin, under the ceiling fan
one step forward on the beam of life
then one more, above the pale abyss
and onward, even, kiss for kiss
upon each eye to charm your sight
then one more, above the pale abyss
and onward, even, kiss for kiss
upon each eye to charm your sight
i pray, let me enter and cease to be,
take my essence into your life,
be yourself to give birth to me,
use my stillness to ease your strife
take my essence into your life,
be yourself to give birth to me,
use my stillness to ease your strife
the scene, you on the bed tonight
complete, in the phantom light
of the city, in this fleeting land,
ever holding an empty hand
complete, in the phantom light
of the city, in this fleeting land,
ever holding an empty hand
