Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, no
There I go twisting your arm
Oracle ghost
Love me completely in song
Methodist summer camp
You show me yours, show you mine
Sensitive thunderclap
Slip beneath sleeping bag spine
Run, radiator, run
Redheaded, horny-eyed friend
Run taurobolium
Blood that ran off from the stem
[Verse 2]
Go slow
Pandemos, fill of me
Cherokee jeep in the yard
Pull off your running shoes
Sweet Callipygian, guardian goddess
My guard
[Verse 3]
Half shell
Half undressed lover of mine
Born Aphrogenia
Jealousy drink of your wine
Crazed nymphomania
Touch me if touching's no sin
Heart shaped
Anemone felt from within
[Verse 4]
Don't go
Pandemos, fill of me
I never meant to do harm to you, to love
Go slow
Pandemos, fill of me
I never meant to do harm to you, to love
Written by: Bryce Dessner, James McAlister, Nico Muhly, Sufjan Stevens
