Come, come smoochy on my eyes
You dirten my surprise, so cold
Weak, my moans again once more
Our room is filled with bore, again
So your eyes gave me the blues
Back then, the river filled with sand
My body's flesh and gore, make me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, make me insecure
(Don't you leave me) My body's flesh and gore
My body's flesh and gore, make me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, make me insecure
My body's flesh and...
Yearn to lay there by your side
Bare skin, white in the wild, did you
Make the branch under my feet
Make noise while I'm asleep, could you
Leave, apart again once more
And I had waved you down before
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
(ice cold...)
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
(shadow's ...) My body's flesh and gore
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
(sunshine's in your eyes)
My body's flesh and gore, left me insecure
