Lady Lamb - Crane Your Neck lyrics

I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met & I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket. I used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a name so each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attention & I placed my palm upon your collarbone & I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrow. As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball, as gently as a mouse until tomorrow. We ripped off all our clothes & this included all our j**elry & we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in me, the parts that are dormant I wish to set them free & in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone. But there's a hunger under my skin & its gripping at my bones. There's a hunger like a lion's & its ripping right through my bones. So I push my limbs all forward like a tree does in a storm & I walk into my kitchen & I lean against the window, I'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being led. I'm as blue as blood before the blood goes red. & how it hurts even in the sun, it's a goddamn joke how we can hurt even in the sun. For a heart beats the best in a bed beside the one that it loves. Yes a heart beats the best when in a head d**h becomes irrelevant. Cause if you're dreaming about dying then you're not really living, darling. You've got to be starving, you've got to be starving for it & if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin. Twist your hips & crane your neck. Twist your hips & crane your neck. Twist your hips & crane your neck. Twist your hips & bend your body back. You've got to be starving for it, you've got to be starving for it, you've got to be starving, you've got to be starving for it.
