Lyrics
you’d have turned to ash and blown away by now
if it was true what they say
about loving oneself before one can know the love of another
thanks to the miracles of 21st-century civilization
you’re never as alone as you might guess
in the bible you were an agent of herod antipas
jesus caught some flack for dining in your questionable company
he told those who would judge you that
he has come to call not the righteous but rather sinners to repentance
a story you’ve heard too much too believe: irrespective of merit,
two souls board a creaky gravitron and emerge wholly blended
when she feeds you all her favorite foods, plays you her favorite records
she is saying I require no privacy from you
you’d have turned to ash and blown away by now
if you ever were gonna
a story you’ve heard too much too believe: repentance
