Body Down from Body Down by Sam Lou Talbot

Baby, hold my body down. Hold my teeth, I won’t make a sound. Die if you like! I see your face in the night. Keep to yourself. I know your smell. I’ll walk by my own. I’ll die for no man. I’ll worry to myself. I can’t understand. How are you here? I said “Go away”. Where we’re living is a man’s world. A man’s world!

I keep my distance from you ‘cos it’s for the best. I know no reason to get out of bed. But you’re high on your manhood. You said you’re a revolutionary! You saw ten thousand stars looking right at me. Take your word and deliver it to the God. You said you were faithful but faithful you are not! You cheating man I saw you do, you know, you see it too. Hail now! Go and lose yourself. I’m talking to you don’t you care for someone else! I’m seeing stars at night like I did back before I met you.
