Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Crane Your Neck Lyrics
I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we metAnd I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucketI used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a nameSo each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attentionAnd I placed my palm upon your collarboneand I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrowAs gently as a mouse curled up in a ballas gently as a mouse until tomorrowWe ripped off all our clothes and this included all our jewelryAnd we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in meThe parts that are dormant, I wish to set them freeAnd in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily aloneBut there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bonesThere's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bonesSo I push my limbs all forward like a tree does in a stormAnd I walk across the kitchen and I lean against the windowI'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being ledI'm as blue as blood before the blood goes redAnd how it hurts even in the sunIt's a goddamn joke how we can hurt even in the sunFor a heart beats the best in a bed beside the one that it lovesYes, a heart beats the best when in a head, death becomes irrelevantCause if you're dreaming about dying, then you're not really living darlingYou've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for itAnd if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chinTwist your hipsAnd crane your neckTwist your hipsAnd bend your body backYou've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for itYou've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
