Stay by me, stay by me
You are the one, my only true loveThe butcher bird makes it’s noise
And asks you to agree
With it’s brutal nesting habits
And it’s pointless savagery
Now, the nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
And the other down your pantiesEverything is falling, dear
Everything is wrong
It’s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me onLike a light bulb
Like a songYou race naked through the wilderness
You torment the birds and the bees
You leapt into the abyss, but find
It only goes up to your knees
I move stealthily from tree to tree
I shadow you for hours
I make like I’m a little deer
Grazing on the flowersEverything is collapsing, dear
All moral sense has gone
It’s just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me onLike an idea
Like an Atom bombWe stand awed inside a clearing
We do not make a sound
The crimson snow falls all about
Carpeting the groundEverything is falling, dear
All rhyme and reason gone
It’s just history repeating itself
And, babe, you turn me onLike an idea
Like an Atom bomb
