Cupid Awake
[Verse]
Wake up cupid
Don't you have a thing or two to say
The mother's crying
King and queen are spying
On the slave
The baby just born
Trying to keep warm
Feeling for a match
In the dripping darkness
Leather harness
Strapped across her back
Now the aftermath of absent mindedness
Go below
Where the wishful thinkers
Wish you'd finally break
[Chorus]
Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep
But you're keeping my soul awake
Your love
Your love
[Verse]
Softer then now
Cupid shoots her
Quick one through the sun
Clouds her kisses
Act suspicious
Speak in foreign tongues
And the girl's a broken
Bottlenecks round here are
Commonplace
Stealing generations
Never leave a track to trace
And [?]
1895
Now everybody knows his face
When he's falling from the sky
[Chorus]
Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep
But you're keeping my soul awake
Your love
Your love
Pouring gravel on grass
Pouring gravel on grass
[Verse]
Body's atlas
Drowned the baptists
And lost Jerusalem
And no one ever bothered asking if it learned to swim
The quiet power
Of can you turn the deserts into snow
And the suburb gypsy says it laying beside you
Hell no
Now the priest ran off with the secretary
Scarlet letter E's
They got tired of feeling numb around the knees
[Chorus]
Now a heartbeat even gets to sleep
But you're keeping my soul awake
Your love
Your love
Your love
Pouring gravel on grass
Pouring gravel on grass
