'Cross the street from your storefront cemetery
Hear me hailing from inside and realize I'm
I am the conscience clear in pain or ecstasy
We were all weaned, my dear, upon the same fatigue
We're staring at the sun
Oh, my own voice cannot save me now
Standing in the sea
It's just one more breath and then I'll go down
Your mouth is open wide, the lover is inside
And all the tumult's done, collided with the sign
You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea
Your body's over me
Note the trees because the dirt is temporary
More to mine than fact, face, name and monetary
Eat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean
Quietly pour out like light, like light, like answering the sun
You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea
Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe
The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth
Your body's over me
The sun
You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea (Be what you will)
Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe (And then throw down your life)
The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth (Oh, it's a damned fine game)
Your body's over me (And we can play all night)
You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea (Your body's over me)
Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe
The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth (Your body's over me)
Your body's over me
You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
