unison

You're a long damn way from North Carolina now

What a goddamn victory I guess

Swimming it up like assholes at Sina Lei

The way my ancestors did

And if they find me face down

Dead in the chuck

At least they'd know that I loved you this much

And was happy I caved upon your insistence

'Cause now it all means something

You

And me

In this ageless thing

And it takes and it takes

And it moves and he makes us

Of one mind

And he takes and he takes

I wish I could make it so you could see yourself

Just seeing everything

Whatever it's called out there

In the firmament

A screed

A view

In an endless feed

Of disquiet I never knew

I had

I guess

But I am filled to the head

Of unsayable things that I don't

Want to forget

And it takes and it takes

And it moves and he makes us

Of one mind

And he takes and he takes

And it takes and it takes

And it moves and he makes us

Of one mind

And he takes and he takes

Tenterhooks

'Cause the gods know that I am tender prey

And heaven knows that if they balled me away

Would I reach your love again?

Flawless paradise

And I'm raised up in a sky blue sky

In a bad deed with no good alibies

Will I see your love again?

Will I feel your love again?

I was born and survived by some cold inner space

Till you called out and told me I belonged in this place

And when my body was splayed out in a miracle mile

Let 'em catch me and kill me let them take me in style

You're the only one

The only one

That I know in some way I'll be thinking of

When I've made my bed

And I've paid my dues

At least you'll know that I loved you
