[Verse 1]

Open my legs, lie down with death

We kiss, we sigh, we sweat

His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown

I pull him close

Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life

I twist, I bite

The foxes chatter in the night

[Chorus]

Show me the way

This feeling leads

The ache, the kick, the need

Show me the way

This feeling leads

The ache, the kick, the need

[Post-Chorus]

A shimmering landscape, widen my eyes

Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?

[Verse 2]

I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town

Run through rain, run through fog

Taking consolation, cats and dogs and things that cannot speak

Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane

When I asked what I could offer them

They said, "Gin and tonic or lithium"

I asked, "Which way should I go?"

Through cigarette smoke, they said, "Child

How would we know?"

[Chorus]

Show me the way

This feeling leads

The ache, the kick, the need

Show me the way

This feeling leads

The ache, the kick, the need

[Post-Chorus]

Desire beyond reason

Ruinous thing

A stranger came to my door

And I welcomed him in

My feet are bleeding

And I cannot stop

I have many, many miles

Yet to cross

[Bridge]

And I came to a clearing full of wailing and keening

A well of tears that never runs dry

The women said, "We've been waiting, waiting to meet you

It's only a matter of time"

Thrust my fists in the ground and the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh

I could feel something shudder deeper, deeper down

[Outro]

And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway

And all their violent offers, I just turn them away

And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me

After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)

Than me (Woo)
