Got that crooked nose and spine
Got the reason to my rhyme
Got the angels and the mime
Of a neverending lie
Unfathomable times of need
Unquenchable need to bleed
Believe
Hold the sceptre and the cross
The napalm and the books
Clutch the velvet and the silk
The diamonds and the silt
Home.
Believe in me, like I want you to
Trust in me like I want you to
Leave me like I want you to
Deceive me, like I want you to
And I love you too
With the apples and the trees
The cure and the disease
The flowers and the axe
Never coming back.
