By the Gullet

Seized me by the gullet again Naked, a body that boasted youth I immersed myself in it And I bit into the dated fruit I immersed myself in it And I bit into the dated fruit I stayed in there until my fingers pruned It was then I knew that I was not ruined I immersed myself in it (will never happen again) I immersed myself in it And I could be found dancing again In the back of a room of the Holiday Inn With a glass and a grin The light flooding in Who knows me here? All I know is that I'm living again So I went walking I'd never seen so much beauty in the face Of a man so cunning I immersed myself in it Said, "I've been drowning" I immersed myself in him Thought I was better I thought myself loose-limbed and lithe I was longing again And I could be found dancing again In the back of a room of the Holiday Inn With a glass and a grin The light flooding in Who knows me here? All I know is that I'm living again And on the ground behind me I left a trail of water Loath to look back Busying my mind with the strength I wished to gather I wished to gather (a benevolent will had summoned me) I wished to gather (a benevolent will had summoned me) A benevolent will had summoned me A benevolent will had summoned me A benevolent will had summoned me A benevolent will had summoned me A benevolent will had summoned me A benevolent will had summoned me
