Lyrics
The Great Undressing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like capitalism
It works like unrequited love that way
It never rests
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you
And all the people in the world
Are between you and I in that way
And in the way of love
You must be disgusted
But I need to keep writing because everything else is death
I'm self-sufficient, mad, endlessly producing
I don't need money, I just need your love
Or your approval, anything
Like capitalism
It works like unrequited love that way
It never rests
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you
And all the people in the world
Are between you and I in that way
And in the way of love
Any sign is a promise of love, of being exposed
A stage ritual undressing taking a place of consumation
I'm here writing, working, making myself
Available for love
Making myself available for love
Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you
I just need a sign
Any recognition is a reward
Because I love you
