How could you Let it in your house And let it in your bed? Between the wall in lay Another shiv instead So how did it taste When you kiss it on the face? or when the blue eyes sail in from the north I guess you do what you do When you need to fill some empty space Anything you need from me The eight arms around you? Another heart to pound for you Another set of awkward lungs To breath in the air of men We don't pretend A liver a lung a kidney a thumb Lies in the heart of the be-loved Because the best part is You never know just what they're capable of (The slow circling of the drain) Sleep with the fishes! We do what we do To fill the empty space What do I do I'm running out of space! So what do I do When the claws dig in and drag me from this place You'll never live to see the ocean You'll never live to brave this sky You'll never live to see any garden and drag the river and comply i guess no one really knows anyone So clamp it like a compass And let me know where I should be And when it's cold and snowy Melt the blood you froze in me I smell it on the sheets for days I smell it in my room I smell it on my hands for weeks These dirty hands all over you Anything you need from me The eight arms around you Another heart to pound for you Another set of awkward lungs To breath up the air of men I don't pretend A liver a lung a kidney a thumb Lies in some heart of some beloved Because the best part is Because the best part is You can sleep with the fishes before I sleep with you Drive carefully dear And to a nest of Vipers, and to my "miss know it all" Drive carefully dear
