Any Body

Grey on my face and spurs on my tongue
And I could be anyone
Large as a lion stalking his lover
And small as the dying Sun

Don’t tell them what you would do in there
Fistful of flowers and fire for hair
Feet first, all fumbles, but he wouldn’t care
Fake human face trapped inside his stare

When I’m in this body
Put your pressure on me
When you’re getting closer
You’re getting further from me

But I'm the one who knows better
I’m the one who’s no better
And she’ll always know better
And she’s always no better

I could be best and I could be dust
And I could be what you think
Pinned to your collar, proof of your power
Code for what you can’t see

Don’t say it’s me when you know she’ll do
Things I could dream up and you’ll dream too
All legs and all eyes, like anybody moves
Perfect in the right light, like anybody’s truth

When I’m thinking clear
Like the light behind the window
Oh, I could see it peel off
And the voices become real

But I'm the one who knows better
I’m the one who’s no better
And she’ll always know better
And she’s always no better
