zuò qǔ : Blackman, Wilder |
|
Who wouldn' t want a good girl |
|
A soft hand |
|
A gentle woman for a gentleman? |
|
He said, " It' s been fine so far but |
|
After a while, I want more than a soft style. |
|
I want some slashes to go with those long eyelashes. " |
|
And so the bedroom became the black room |
|
But a year later he wanted something more |
|
Something I wasn' t quite prepared for |
|
He said, " Every woman has an itch |
|
And every nice girl secretly wants to switch. " |
|
I like how the skins look on your white hands |
|
I' d like you to deliver one of my demands. " |
|
He said, " Every woman has an itch |
|
And every nice girl wants to switch. " |
|
He led me in and lit the room with a hundred candles |
|
And said, " God never gives you more than you can handle. " |
|
I sat astride his chest |
|
" It' s just a thrill, " he said, as he relaxed on the dark, dark bed |
|
" It' s just breath control. " |
|
" It' s just breath control. " |
|
He whispered, " Hold me here" and I did and his head fell back |
|
He whispered " Press harder" and I did and his eyes rolled back |
|
It' s just breath control, just breath control |
|
I saw him go pale, I saw him seize up |
|
I felt something creep up, like a taste for this |
|
Like a reward, a kind of love, a kind of lustmord |
|
It was a minute, then three, then five, then ten |
|
He wasn' t coming up again |
|
I held on for twelve |
|
I saw him seize and thrash and twist and when he was still |
|
I lifted away my wrists and looked at my hands and tried to understand |
|
" It' s just a thrill" I said |
|
As he relaxed on the dark, dark bed |
|
I sat aside his chest |
|
" It' s just a thrill, " he said |
|
" Just a thrill. It' s just breath control |
|
It' s just breath control |
|
Just breath control |
|
It' s just breath control |
|
When it was over, I slipped off the skins |
|
And drowned them in the river where we used to swim |
|
And a year later in a shop, I was stopped by a man |
|
He said, " I know you' re looking for something that' s hard to find |
|
And I think I have what you have in mind. " |
|
And he led me to a glass case and looked deep into my face. . . |
|
" It' s just control. " |
