lyrics

She shows me her teeth
Obscured by tangles of jasmine
I exhale, "Oh my God"
But she says she's my God now

Don't you know you got me feeling something awful
On my knees shake, beg and grovel
Breathe my name like a prayer and a curse
Grip the sheets and promise to make me real

Black lips
Land across my throat
Like the flutter
Of a mourning cloak

And
I'd rather
Be nowhere
I'd rather be nowhere and anywhere else

Don't you know you got me feelin' something awful
On my knees shake, beg and grovel
Breathe my name like a prayer and a curse
Grip the sheets and promise to make me real

Your voice hangs in the air like perfume
Glitter glimmers like ice cold temptation
So relieved when you tell me, "Don't spend the night"
This ain't no holiday vacation
