C Bb Gm Bb C Bb Gm Bb

Move away from the window and into the light

There are some things in this life that you just can't fight

It's as if the spirits above have cast a little spell upon us

Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born

C Bb Gm Bb C Bb Gm Bb

And tremble like animals before a coming storm

The force of life is rushing through our veins

In and out like the tide it comes in waves

The drops of semen and the clots of blood

Which may, one day, become like us

C Bb Gm Bb

With outstretched hands reaching beyond love

C Bb Gm Bb C Bb Gm Bb

And up to something above

C Bb Gm Bb

Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old

C Bb Gm Bb

Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul

C Bb Gm Bb

Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world

I'll take you to the angels if you'll take me to myself
