Robyn Hitchcock - Keeping Still lyrics

Men expect to be inspired Women need to be desired If you move around too fast Then your love will never last Keeping still is the only way to make love When the world has turned to dust Deep below its shattered crust 'Mid the ruins of their town People moving up and down Crouched in terror and disease Making love upon their knees Keeping still is the only way to make love Keeping still is the only way to make love Remember if you move too much It all goes off at the slightest touch Let the smoke enjoy the air It was born to disappear We may never be as one But we sure can have some fun Keeping still is the only way to make love Keeping still is the only way In the stillness of the bell Feel the silence start to swell Chickens in a chicken coop Wish they had some human soup Let the smoke enjoy your lungs While the sacred neck is wrung Keeping still is the only way to make love Keeping still is the only way to make love
