lyrics

I can’t outrun the memory of you,
Rosa Mae
A solitary glimpse of your sanguine lips
Branded my brain

Even your body obsesses the sun
Like some desert colossus -
The sacred remains of an ancient race
Whose mystery we can’t unlock

Evangelizing flies from your porch
You sat sipping on lemonades,
As if indolence were free,
Your bronze and fallow feet
Swaying like signposts in the breeze

You moved in to prove to miscreant young men
That we’d been bonded together
And have never since stopped sliding
The furniture around upstairs

Oh, kiss me slow
I want to feel your saliva drip down my spine
And be reborn with you
Abolished by light so spotless and white
It sunburns our bones

There's a field where flowers grow inside out
So no one knows of their beauty
‘Til the day you come around and turn their organs out
Or so the legend goes

You hired an army of ants
To write stories about you
It was such celebrated prose
Until it was exposed they were just bullets in the sand

Oh, kiss me slow
I want to feel your saliva drip down my spine
And be reborn with you
Abolished by light so spotless and white
It sunburns our bones

Oh, kiss me slow
I want to feel your tongue locked in every pocket of my spine
And be reborn with you
Abolished by light so spotless and white
It sunburns our bones
