Time slips away
Your honeyed words leave craters in the day
Oh time's drifting away
As you blink the night-time follows
Chasing your tender tomorrow
Oh, such a kiss!
Lips like fists, two bloody hues
I pray each peck leaves a bruise
Put me in your palm and squeeze
Axe and shape my memory
Clutch me like a rosary and rip off my jeans
Lover, let's make history
We'll melt and glue and stick and weave
Till it's no longer 'you' or 'me'
Just bodies spilling breathlessly
Heroine, heroine
Where've you been?
I'm still catching up on all that wasted oxygen
Heroine, heroine
Let me in
I can show you rivers where the water's never still
Walked you back from Merchant's corner
Rushing over beat brick mortar
Forking through the city like a street
Gentle beauty in plate armour
Watched you peel the steel from 'round you
Back revealing beauty as yet unseen
I was falling, falling as you giggled through the din
Put me in your palm and squeeze
(She sends shivers through the night)
Axe and shape my memory
(Shakes the stars in twenty-thousand skies)
Clutch me like a rosary and rip off my jeans
Lover, let's make history
(She's the rib and she's the spine)
We'll melt and glue and stick and weave
(See my world resting in her eyes)
Till its no longer 'you' or 'me'
Just bodies spilling breathlessly
(She sends shivers through the night)
I could feel it then
(Shakes the stars of twenty-thousand skies)
I think it's better this way
(She's the rib and she's the spine)
I could feel it then
(See my world shining in her eyes)
Time slips, we drift, I fall
