Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Open my legs, lie down with death
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
I pull him close, wrap my legs around
And it tastes like life, I twist, I bite
The foxes chatter in the night
[Chorus]
Show me the way this feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
[Chorus]
Show me the way this feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
[PostChorus]
A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
[Verse 2]
I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
Run through rain, run through fog
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
[Verse 3]
Ran to the ancestral plane
But they all showed up drunk and insane
When I asked what I could offer them
They said, "Gin and tonic or lithium"
I asked, "Which way should I go?"
And through cigarette smoke, they said
"Child, how would we know?"
[Chorus]
Show me the way this feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
[Chorus]
Show me the way this feeling leads
The ache, the kick, the need
[PostChorus]
Desire beyond reason
Ruinous thing
A stranger came to my door
And I welcomed him in
My feet are bleeding
I cannot stop
I have many, many miles
Yet to cross
[Bridge]
I came to a clearing full of wailing and keening
A well of tears that never runs dry
The women said, "We've been waiting
Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time"
[Bridge]
Thrust my fists in the ground
And the earth made a moaning sound
I could feel something shudder
Deeper, deeper down
[Bridge]
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turn them away
And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me
After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me
[Outro]
Than me
