I Believe I've Been Lovingly Caged

My heart sings to Lucifer I'm sick of selling used cars Even my black shoes are fed up with walking Under a million and one stars pitched to cry It's sad just how empty this life can be I'm like a stray cat looking for a welcoming knee One that won't kick me any lower than you have done before. My heart sings to Lucifer send me a killer disease My lungs don't want to breathe anymore And it's all because you make me feel blue. The sun keeps rising like it's always done before But I want to burrow like a maggot and die young Kissing your flesh and making love to your bones. Thank god for roses and your early morning moans Stretching out over desolate seas, driftwood foam. Thank god for that sweeping sanguine wave of death That harbours in my heart that turns and returns To jump a stile or a gate. Dear, just where you wait My heart is like an anchor in the bosom of a holy book It's strangled in seaweed every time your eyes run over My messed-up body for just another parched look. My heart is a crucifix and it's been nailed to you With hoof and bone glue, darling Lucifer can take my soul But my heart - for what it is worth belongs Seven fathoms under the waves with you. Like a serpent sea-snake entwined with you till tomorrow day Darling, what do you say, sing me another sea shanty all those other sirens mean nothing at all it's you my heart taxis in the dark for around the park looking to sing like a morning skylark. Oh, I'm in your neighbourhood right now Parched and diseased, darling take me to the Netherworld I want to join all those other lepers, please, that fell to their knees as heavenly parolees. Begging in rage, I can't turn another page without you. I believe I've been lovingly caged.
