Perfect Desire

from Somewhere Nowhere by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

devouring desire denied - heat pressing down from the sky
I stare my eyes out - yearn to be put down
a rabid dog led astray - for dirty games to be played
do you hear my jaws churn? - it makes the flesh burn

odour of ferocity - oh! please exude it for me
convicted in trial - for so vicious a mind
gets worse the harder you breathe - and cock your head as a tease
it might be worthwhile - to stay in denial

all most passionate kisses, the heat and the light
go and get what I crave from desire at first sight
lock me up in a cage and then throw away the keys
but beware of the beast when he's finally released

bloodthirsty, brutally deprived - just like the tiger of Pi
depravity's reign - driving me insane
trapped in shadows of desire - black fumes of hell's singing fire
put satyrs to shame - play Aphrodite's game

all most passionate kisses, the heat and the light
go and get what I crave from desire at first sight
lock me up in a cage and then throw away the keys
but beware of the beast when he's finally released

I'll be ready to crawl on my hands and my knees
eaten by fire ants my eyes licked by sweat bees
find then circle me, stubborn like a tsetse fly
suck last droplets of life from this dead empty hide

all most passionate kisses, the heat and the light
time to get what I crave from desire at first sight
locked me up in a cage and then threw away the keys
so beware of the beast now he's finally released

oh god! please end this torment, tear my body apart
hear a hoarse raucous tune from my hot hungry heart
no one ever told me that neglect breeds disease
nor that Venus was born from the foam of the seas.
